When a beloved Canadian Country artist discovers that human trafficking thrives in his own backyard, he uses his platform to listen, learn, and help spark conversations that ask Canadians to confront an uncomfortable reality.

Set against the Alberta landscape, Not In My City: The Paul Brandt Documentary follows country music icon Paul Brandt as he shares the awakening that transformed him from bystander to advocate. From first confronting the reality of trafficking to founding a grassroots movement in his own backyard, Paul dismantles the myth that exploitation only happens "somewhere else." Balancing unflinching honesty with genuine hope, the documentary delivers a message that crosses borders: none of us are powerless to act.
