Has not connected their Facebook account.

Fulbright Researcher Olga Trusova and John S. Knight comics journalist Dan Archer (www.archcomix.com) have spent a year interviewing victims of human trafficking and turning their experiences into the first issue of "Borderland Comics". Now they need to raise funds for printing, digital PDA versions and distribution so that these powerful stories can be heard by as wide an audience as possible.
