Using a throw away because I travel to China often.
Human trafficking in China is a lot more complex than Chinese 'husbands' buying Vietnamese 'brides' through traffickers. Part of it stems from a culture of arranged marriages where the groom's family would pay a rather large sum of money to the bride's family as part of the wedding ceremony, or 'dowry' as people often refer to. 'Buying' a bride is actually a lot more common than you would believe, and it's very accepted in China.
It takes a lot more than a documentary to correct it. The central government sectioned media outlet outright whitewashes human trafficking (see The Story of An Abducted Woman, a story about an abducted woman finding love in a forced marriage, it's often criticized for romanticizing human trafficking). Paying for a bride in China is not a taboo subject. How will you fight that perception?
Rather than media exposure and raising awareness, do you have any future plans?
On the other hand, are you going to investigate the other side of the issue, and look into traffickers that sells wedding packages to Vietnamese families, lying to their daughters about better life in China?
