After the Odyssey (French: Au lendemain de l'odyssée) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Helen Doyle and released in 2024.[1]
The film centres on the illegal human trafficking of immigrants in Italy, primarily women from Nigeria who are sold into sexual slavery;[2] despite the gravity of the film's themes, however, Doyle stressed that the film is ultimately less about the horror of human trafficking itself, and more about the strength, resilience and sisterhood of the women who went through the ordeal and the network of community services that have mobilized to battle the traffickers and help the women.[3]
The film opened theatrically on February 9, 2024.[3]
