Lights in Dark Rooms
Tuesday, January 26
5:30pm - 7:00pm
January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month.
When billions are stolen and hundreds of thousands are trafficked, the security of our digital world can no longer be solved from behind a screen.
A crew of security researchers and investigators travels to the border of war-torn Myanmar and the urban centers of the Philippines to document the harrowing reality of industrialized scamming compounds. In these "dark rooms," victims are ensnared in modern slavery, lured by fake job promises only to be forced into executing relentless fraud schemes under the threat of torture. Lights in Dark Rooms exposes the intersection of human trafficking and modernized cybercrime, challenging the global technology sector and international community to confront an urgent humanitarian crisis.
This event is free and open to the public. Viewer discretion advised.

The West Las Vegas Library opened originally as a storefront on “D” Street in 1973, and later growing to a 16,000+ square-foot, stand-alone branch on West Lake Mead Boulevard in 1989, the new location on North Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard reflects another important milestone in the Library District’s service to this neighborhood. Spanning two stories at 41,000+ square feet, the library’s spectacular new home is more than double the size of its predecessor. In addition to offering an Event Center, 3D Printing Lab, the Historical African American Collection, and Digital Memories Preservation Lab, this 41,000-square-foot library houses an all-new collection of 60,000 volumes.
