Extra screening slots for MTV EXIT programs in Southeast Asia

MTV Networks Asia Pacific has announced that several terrestrial broadcasters in the region will be screening additional MTV EXIT programming in December to help raise greater awareness of human trafficking.

The MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) campaign is an award-winning multi-media initiative to raise awareness and increase prevention of exploitation and human trafficking. MTV EXIT was launched in Europe in 2004, and expanded across Asia with assistance from USAID in 2007.

To date MTV EXIT has produced three documentaries, two music videos and 10 public service announcements (PSAs) for Asian markets.

Indonesia's Global TV will screen on 12 December a 30 minute special of MTV EXIT Live in Jakarta and an animated drama, 'Intersection'.

On 17 December, Cambodia's CTN will screen a Khmer version of the documentary 'Traffic' which is hosted by Lucy Liu and features interviews with victims in the trafficking chain./p>
