Yesterday, I was interviewed for a radio program called Honest to God hosted by a young pastor named Josh Weidmann.

I was able to talk about the India documentary I'm working on and how it relates to human trafficking.
I had never thought of it in terms of trafficking, but it's an interesting concept.
If orphanage directors are gathering more children who are not orphans to their homes in order to get more support from America, in order to line their pockets, are the children, in essence, being trafficked?
Albeit nowhere near bonded labor or prostitution, if these children are being used for the personal betterment of an individual, even though their needs are being taken care of, is it wrong?
Would it be better for these kids to go live with their impoverished families? Or is it better to live with corrupt orphanage directors who care primarily about money?
On another note: I've found someone who's interested in developing a web site for the documentary. Pro bono.
I'll pass along details of the radio broadcast and the web site as they come.
