Playground is a 2009 documentary directed by Libby Spears and produced by David de Rothschild. The film focuses on the child sex trade in the United States.[1]

Playground features original artwork by Japanese pop artist, Yoshitomo Nara, and animation by Heather Bursch. The executive producers were George Clooney, Grant Heslov, Steven Soderbergh, Abigail Disney, Lauren & Gayle Embrey, and Jeff Vespa.[2]
