A viral Twitter thread about one woman's experience of sex trafficking during a 2015 trip to Florida has been turned into a movie, Zola.

Inspired by A'Ziah "Zola" King's 148-tweet thread and a subsequent story in Rolling Stone magazine about her experience, the drama follows Detroit waitress and exotic dancer Zola whose customer Stefani convinces her to travel to Florida for a weekend.
