About Chong
Chong Kim is an Asian American survivor of Human Trafficking and Child Sex Exploitation, now a dedicated human and civil rights advocate. Ms. Kim has dedicated more than 20 years in educating the public about safety, prevention and how to identify red flags in possible groomers. Ms. Kim has remained a staunch advocate to the cause being a voice for the voiceless. Working alongside those who are striving to end slavery and injustice, she empowers victims and survivors alike.
In the fall of 2023, Ms. Kim has launched her first short film titled, 'E40S' (Every 40 Seconds) which is inspired by her real lived experience as well as the cases she has assisted in the investigation. The celebrated filmmaker is grounded in the struggle for liberation and justice in the USA, but also concerned with injustice globally.
The prominent luminary filmmaker and advocate has been featured on CNBC, Montel, CNN-UK, BBC and Huff-Post Live and featured Kim's survival story, 'Eden', which has also been shown throughout Asia, United States, Europe and the UK. As of October 2023, the film remains a New York Times Critics Pick. Ms. Kim has piloted many outreach initiatives in support of victims. For her work she was awarded by San Diego's My Sister's Voice in the 'Top 40 Women who Inspired the World.' That was in 2014 and she continues to be a woman who is inspiring the world. As a sought-after power broker in the entertainment industry, Kim is using her platform to bring awareness to human trafficking, a subject that Kim knows about all too well, as a survivor of exploitation and adult human trafficking. The producer's relentless efforts to shine a light on the dark corners of human trafficking have earned her worldwide acclaim.
Kim's E40S (Every 40 Seconds), inspired by true events, is a compelling film that tackles the pressing issues surrounding human trafficking and exploitation. 'E40S' made history of sorts just this month, by snagging the IMDB qualifier's 8 & HalFilm Awards for Best Narrative Short Film and Best American Film. Kim, as a loyal advocate and changemaker, also spotlights other survivor-led businesses and programs on her E40S website.
