Love this! This video humanizes Ana instead of simply victimizing her. It demonstrates how normal, every day people can fall into slavery - right in the United States.

It's also inspiring how Chris Huang acknowledges that defining moment, where he could ignore the prevalent issue of human slavery or he could do something about it: "We just felt like it was a defining moment in our life. We're either going to ignore what we just heard, make ourselves numb to it. Or we have to do something. That's what burdened us ultimately. Who is going door-to-door? And who is going to shine the light in the dark place? [Who is going to] identify justice and execute justice?"

The pain in Ana's story is exceeded only by her courage in sharing it.
