LOS ANGELES, December 6, 2019 (Newswire.com) - ​Scientology Network’s DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the award-winning documentary Operation Toussaint December 6.

DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays, 8 p.m. ET/PT, on Scientology Network.

Codirected by Nick Nanton and Ramy Romany and featuring former special agent for U.S. Department of Homeland Security Tim Ballard, Operation Toussaint chronicles the undercover activities of an elite team of former U.S. law enforcement officers whose sole mission is to track down human traffickers and end child prostitution.  

Ballard left his government job to dedicate his life to the fight against human trafficking, creating Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) and recruiting other like-minded Special Forces operatives to join him in this crusade. Operation Toussaint follows Ballard and his team on an undercover mission to Haiti as they pursue a ring of sex traffickers and bring them to justice. Operation Underground Railroad’s missions have led to the arrests of hundreds of human traffickers and have rescued over 1,000 victims of human trafficking.
