I Am Jane Doe follows the journey of these young girls and their mothers who have filed law
suits against Backpage, setting these children on a collision course not only with the owners of
Backpage, but with judges, powerful companies, special interest groups, and Section 230 of the
U.S. Communications Decency Act, an internet freedom law that has been interpreted by federal
judges to provide a safe haven for website publishers to advertise underage girls for sex. These
cases have, thus far, not gone well for these Jane Doe children, but have sparked a political
movement and a Senate Investigation.
I Am Jane Doe shines a light on child sex-trafficking, a gut-wrenching reality that affects every
community in America, debunking the myth that this crime only happens in developing
countries.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Mary Mazzio hails from a highly accomplished and diverse background. Mazzio is a force to be
reckoned with whether she’s navigating the Charles River in a rowing shell (she was a 1992
Olympian), negotiating a corporate contract on Boston’s State Street (she is a former partner with
the law firm Brown Rudnick), or collaborating with the White House to raise over $100 million
dollars in public and private partnerships to fund STEM education for low-income students, as
she did with her last film, Underwater Dreams.
In all of Mazzio’s films, her mission is to shed light on compelling narratives of social
significance, making her one of the country’s prominent filmmakers promoting stories of
diversity. To that end, Mazzio founded 50 Eggs, Inc., an independent film production company
dedicated to creating films with social impact.
