Michael Cory Davis is an actor, filmmaker, and activist. While acting in a movie on location in Bulgaria for the Sci-Fi channel, Davis learned about the horrific crime of Human Trafficking while attending a fundraiser for the organization Face To Face Bulgaria. Davis immediately began to volunteer his time traveling throughout the country meeting countless victims of the crime.

Upon his return to the U.S., Davis wrote the film Svetlana’s Journey based on the true story of a 13 year old sex trafficking victim. Davis flew back to Bulgaria, secured corporate funding and directed the film in a week with non-English speaking Bulgarian actors.

Upon completion of Svetlana’s Journey, Davis prolonged his stay in Bulgaria and toured the country screening Svetlana’s Journey in public schools and orphanages. In 2005, Svetlana’s Journey aired on Bulgarian national television to more than two millions viewers.
