Lisa Kristine on National Geographic Weekend

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.

As a humanitarian photographer, my craft is devoted to honoring the innate dignity inherent in every individual. My work spans more than 150 countries and serves as a catalyst for social change via exposure and financial support. Along with my photography, I champion the causes I document and have been invited to deliver keynote speeches at the UN, Parliament, The Vatican, Davos & TED stages. Please contact me if you would like to acquire one of my pieces or to speak at your event.
