Catalina Content & Mira Sorvino Pact for Transformation Ranch

Catalina Content has partnered with actress, activist and producer Mira Sorvino; her husband Christopher Backus; and her sister, Amanda Sorvino, an animal rescuer and 501c3 founder, for the new series Transformation Ranch.

Transformation Ranch will shine a light on the survivors of human trafficking as they search for a breakthrough in the boundaries and obstacles they face as a result of their past trauma. Their path to healing involves expert-led animal therapy in which abused and neglected rescue animals provide connection and post-traumatic growth opportunities for the survivors.

The family-run 200-acre ranch outside of Los Angeles serves as rehabilitation for those looking to get their lives back on track. The Sorvino sisters and Backus are joined by a team of therapeutic experts at the ranch.

Mira Sorvino said: “Overcomers of human trafficking are among the most extraordinary human beings I know—I am in constant awe of their courage, resilience and strength. The ranch will provide a resource for them to continue to achieve their full potential in the life they were born for, not the one that was brutally thrust upon them. We are hoping that engaging in professional therapy with some of the extraordinary animals my sister Amanda Sorvino has devoted her life to rescuing will provide them with what my overcomer friend describes as ‘next level healing.’”

Jeff Collins, president of Catalina Content, said: “There are over 25 types of modern slavery right here in the U.S., and it is the second-fastest growing crime in the world. There has never been a more important time to document this tragedy.”
