Synopsis: Co-produced by local Gayle Embrey, George  Clooney, Steven Soderbergh & Grant Heslov. The recent investigation has revealed that Glenwood Springs is not shel­tered from the child prostitution industry. It’s location on the I-70 corri­dor in fact puts our community at greater risk. In an effort to raise local awareness, the Childhelp River Bridge Multi-Disciplinary team is host­ing a screening of the groundbreaking filn1″The Playground” that looks at the multi-million dollar pedophilia industry. Filmmaker Libby Spears infiltrates the brothels of Asia, then traces the sex trade back to America. Her investigation reveals that it is as easy to buy a child in the US as it is in Asia. Speaking to pimps, victims and police officers, she exposes how young children are pushed into prostitution. Running alongside the investigation are the personal stories of the victims.

Interesting that this information has not been published in any of our local newspapers.

More than interesting, zgn.

All the things that go on behind the scenes in Glenwood Springs that don't get reported in the local paper are always interesting.

Really interesting that the public announcement of this documentary film is being put out by local law enforcement agencies.

Help out a cop. Vote out all council, commission and district attorneys who are too busy focusing on career politics while this kind of crime happens right under their noses.
