In recognition of National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, Albert Lea Vineyard Church will host a free showing of the documentary “I am Jane Doe” at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 11.

According to a press release, “I am Jane Doe” chronicles the epic battle American mothers are waging on behalf of their middle-school daughters who were victims of sex trafficking.

The press release said the FBI identified the Twin Cities as one of the 13 U.S. cities with a particularly high incidence rate of prostituted children and 60 percent of victims in Minneosta live outside the Twin Cities metro area.
