FULL BIO

If you watched Abducted in Plain Sight on Netflix, you only know half of her story.

Jan Broberg became a household name after the award-winning documentary based on her kidnapping in the 1970’s, Abducted in Plain Sight, was released on Netflix in 2019.

Jan is an accomplished actress having appeared in over 50 films and television shows. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Brigham Young University for her studies in Cinematic Arts and Theatre and served as the Executive Director of the Center for the Arts at Kayenta, in St. George Utah from 2017 through 2022.

In 2019, Jan was honored with The Hope Award from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for her advocacy and public outreach on behalf of children at risk of assault, particularly by someone they know.

Jan launched The Jan Broberg Foundation in 2022, created to highlight her mission of helping victims of abuse heal and thrive, and to prevent abuse from happening in the first place by emphasizing the insidious crime and pathology of the groomers who perpetuate these crimes.

Jan serves as a producer on the Peacock series, A Friend of the Family, based on her family’s horror story about the grooming and abuse by a trusted family friend. It will star Anna Paquin and Colin Hanks.
