The former sex worker helping vulnerable girls in Chicago

Outlook

Available for over a year

Brenda Myers Powell had a childhood of terrible abuse then spent twenty five years working as a prostitute in the American city of Chicago. But now she's broken out of this destructive cycle, to help other women and girls avoid the life she led. She's set up an organisation called The Dreamcatcher Foundation. When she isn't going into schools to offer advice to young girls, she drives her brightly coloured van through the city streets, giving support to prostitutes. Still taken from Dreamcatcher film
