NG Weekend Show #1247 – Air Date: November 18

This week on National Geographic Weekend, join host Boyd Matson speaking with Lisa Kristine. It may be shocking to many Americans that the Civil War did not, in fact, totally stamp out human slavery in the United States. Photographer and human trafficking activist Lisa Kristine went to many places to see humans forced into various types of labor under the threat of violence. She tells Boyd about sex trafficking in Asia and the United States, as well as fishermen in Ghana’s Lake Volta.
