Hong Kong – With the upcoming National Human Trafficking Awareness Day this January, Fashion One Network, together with Bigfoot Entertainment, will be launching the Fashion One Foundation in respect to the day’s cause with the premiere of Bigfoot Entertainment’s feature film, The Girl With No Number, on satellite television.
The film follows a young Vietnamese woman named Phuong Ly who must choose between true love or an arranged marriage to a foreigner to help relieve her family from debt. She is violated, abused, and locked in the house with no hope of escape.
Fashion One Foundation’s mission is to raise awareness for initiatives that encourage and support creative, effective, and sustainable means of challenging poverty, human trafficking, charity aid, education and environmental awareness. It hopes to reach out to its viewers and educate them on these issues, and on the non-profit organisations within the fashion industry that are making a difference.
The Girl With No Number will make its TV debut on January 11, 2013, at 10:30pm (Asia GMT+8 / Europe except UK and Africa GMT+2), exclusively on Fashion One.
“The film showcases that human trafficking is a worldwide problem. It happens everywhere, and that is what is so disturbing and why it is crucial that we shed light on this issue. We launched Fashion One Foundation on this very day to create awareness through a medium anyone can identify with, in order to highlight and promote discussion about the issue,” explains Ashley Jordan, Fashion One Foundation Director.
The Girl With No Number is a production of Bigfoot Entertainment with producers Kacy Andrews and Ashley Jordan, and Michael Gleissner as the director.
