About this show

In the new series “8 Minutes”, Kevin Brown and his organization, Passage To Freedom, are working to help save teenage girls from lives of prostitution. Every year 100,000 young women are forced into prostitution. Most will never escape. This is where Brown and his team come into the picture. In each episode of "8 Minutes," they will make contact with a girl who is "in the life," go undercover using hidden cameras, and try to convince them to leave prostitution. But they only have 8 minutes to complete the extraction - the amount of time the team believes it has to convince the girl to leave with them and start a new life. The stakes are high as the threat of violence looms large. Brown's success rate promises dramatic, compelling crime stories told through the prism of a group whose sole goal is to save as many young women as they can - one trick at a time.
