Finding Home follows three young girls as they transition from a heartbreaking past as hostages in Cambodia’s sex trade to a hope-filled future—all with the help of an organization working to rescue and rehabilitate victims of human trafficking.

Filmmaker Derek Hammeke’s award-winning documentary brings to life the struggles and challenges faced by these young survivors as they rebuild their lives after such devastating trauma. Produced over three years, the film follows their journeys from victims to survivors. The documentary highlights the crucial role provided by activists, some living thousands of miles away, as the girls begin a new chapter in life, finding acceptance, community and a place they can call home.

Finding Home won the Documentary Feature Award at the Queen City Film Festival in Maryland.

ABOUT DEREK HAMMEKE

Finding Home is director Derek Hammeke’s first feature-length documentary. Through his Joplin, Missouri-based production company Flying Treasure, LLC, Hammeke has created a host of commercials, documentaries and award-winning short films. He led the creative project for Baht, a short film in partnership with Rapha International, an organization dedicated to ending the trafficking and sexual exploitation of children and providing aftercare for survivors. Derek’s involvement in producing for Rapha International inspired his own commitment to combat human trafficking, ultimately leading him to make Finding Home.
