I will see you in my Dreams

Chapter 23 I will not let you ran away from me.

SASKAT Province

Saskat has been inhabited for thousands of years by various indigenous groups. Europeans first explored the area in 1690 and first settled in the area in 1774. Residents primarily live in the southern prairie half of the province, while the northern boreal half is mostly forested and sparsely populated. Saskat receives more hours of sunshine than any other C province. The province lies far from any significant body of water.

Hannah was doing research on couple of families who were victims of human trafficking in Saskat. The producers are looking for additional factual information to complete the film. It was a docu drama that the producers plans to submit at Cannes Film Festival. When making a documentary, facts are very important. The interviews must be compelling, the questions are supposed to be direct to the point. The facial expressions and body language must be captured in the right manner. Aside from the victims, their families, the social services department were working feverishly with Hannah. In addition to the Government of Saskat who was working to develop new provincial legislation to prevent human trafficking in Saskat with data collected by Hannah and her team. The research and interviews were keeping her occupied. She was on the road almost every day talking to the families, neighbors, and friends of the victims. Filming and interviewing community leaders. At the end of the day, she was so exhausted, dead tired, and just lie on her bed. Ari did not fail to call her even they are thousands of miles away just to say Hi and how’s the day's work progress. He never fails to send her text messages three times a day. Like: Take care of yourself, dont forget to have a meal, drink your vitamins. It's cold in there, dont forget to bring extra warmers, socks and jackets. Put them at the trunk of the car. Bring extra water, thermos for hot coffee, energy drinks, bars and sweet cookies. You love sweets. When you get home, take a hot bath to help you relax so you can sleep well. Dont forget to have dinner even if you're so tired. Don't sleep with empty stomach and wet hair. You might catch a flu and have headache the following morning when you get up. When you get back, I will take care of you! Those are the words and texts of Ari to Hannah, full of love and concern.
