A Bulgaria-shot film about forced prostitution will be screened in Hollywood on Friday.
Svetlana's Journey is the directing debut of Bold and The Beautiful star Michael Cory Davis, and features only Bulgarian actors.
The film will be shown during the 2005 Hollywood Film Festival.
They chose Svetlana's Journey from over 2,200 film submissions - shorts, features and documentaries.
The film features young Bulgarian star Violeta Markovska, as well as leading-part Maxim Gentchev, Gergana Dzhikelova and Elvira Ivanova.
During his stay in Bulgaria, Michael Cory Davis worked together with the Face to Face organization, dedicated to the fight against forced prostitution. Davis had arrived in the country to star in an action movie, but the cooperation with Face to Face inspired him to direct his own film, based on a true story.
Svetlana's journey was shown to the Bulgarian audience last December.
