  1. Hello, I found out about the Somaly Mam foundation today, and stumbled apon this movie, Holly. I am currently living in Korea, and was wondering if it will be shown internationally. If not, is there any way I can purchase the dvd?
    I would like to spread awareness about human trafficking here in east Asia.
