The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold a hearing to address the problem of human trafficking at home and abroad. Jada Pinkett-Smith and her daughter, singer Willow Smith, will be testifying at the hearing.
This morning on "Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien," Jada and Willow preview their testimony and explain why it's important to raise awareness of human trafficking in the US. They're joined by special guests, Minh, Monica and Jaquan, all survivors themselves of human trafficking, who will also be attending the Senate hearing.
