Tom, That is excellent. I saw the movie and it made me sick, and angry. And to find out that we - this country, accounts for most of the demand for the children is one more horrific thing that is tearing this country apart. Not that it would help anything, but I would like to know the states where most of them go.
Question - what is the picture of?
Thank you for posting this. I wish more people had read it. Did it make it to FS's front page?

Hello Katharine,
thanks so much for the generous review and stars. The picture was from Fan Art. I think I looked up movie theatre, and that's what came up. I wish the government would go after these creeps more aggressively. Can you imagine the emotional damage these children suffer, if they ever live long enough to make it to adulthood. God help these little ones. This movie needs to be seen by everyone. When sin is exposed, it has a hard time flourishing.
Have a blessed day gal.
Tom

I wish they would, too. Are these the same cartels they are always talking about?

Hello Terry,
thanks so much for the exceptional review and the six stars. The message of this movie is powerful. It sickens me to think that children can be kidnapped and used for the sexual pleasure of these perverts. I think more needs to be done to put an end to this crime, and the only way more will get done is if we start letting out representatives know we want action. Thanks again for the great comments.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Comment from Alexandra Trovato

Excellent

This is a very important topic that doesn't get enough attention. As a teacher I did not deal with child trafficking but I realized how much sexual abuse goes on in a child's home. I once had a ten year old girl in my special education class who came to class with a mans class ring around her neck on a chain moms boyfriend. I reposted it and found out from my supervisor that the man just got released from jail for hurting the girl and her mom let him back in the house. So many of this goes completely unreported. Your article story is illuminating for sure. I pray that good people who care will also find the children in schools who only teachers find if we notice and care to act on what we learn. Due to my actions that man was put away for a very long time and I child was sent to a stable family member. Keep shining light. Best wishes.

Hello Alexandra,
Thank you for caring enough about this little girl to take action and have the man put away. Teachers are a vital part of kid's lives, and a teacher that is attentive and sensitive to each student will, like you, know when something is wrong. I applaud you for stepping up to the plate. I wish more people were like you gal. Well done!

Have a blessed day.

Virtual six, my friend. Yes, God's children are not for sale! This movie is wonderful and of course it's being attacked by the main stream media with ridiculous accusations. QAnon conspiracy? Give me a freaking break! These are precious children of whom we've be entrusted. When the Lord returns, which I believe is soon, these horrible human traffickers are going to receive the worst kind of judgment. It's predicted. We should shine a light in every dark place. Thank you again!

A wonderful post.

Hello Sally,
thanks so much for the wonderful review and comments. Usually if the press or Hollywood says something disparaging about a movie, book, person, it has the exact opposite affect for me. It piques my interest. It seems that increasingly choosing evil is the direction that many want to take. At least the media would like us to believe that. We need to take a stand and let our light shine so the world can see that not everyone is compromised. This movie was an eye opener and a call to action. I hope lots more people see it and speak out.
Have a blessed day.

An important reminder of one of the horrors of the world. Frightening also to hear of what is happening to refugees and children in Russia/Ukraine at the moment. Oh, the inhumanity we humans can create! Thank you for sharing this and for your call to arms.

Hello JSD,
thanks so much for the fine review and comments. I recall hearing of children from Ukraine being removed to Russia. There seems to be no end to the evil coming from Putin. For some reason these evil dictators forget that life comes to an end eventually, and whether or not they believe it, there will be a time to answer for our actions.
Have a blessed day.

This is an essential and thought-provoking piece about a subject we don't often think about. Thank you for shedding light on this important subject. A year ago, I attended a meeting here in Florida, about the large number of children trafficked in this state, and how you might recognize traumatized children. It was pointed out that some children and teens in the U.S. are just snatched off the streets or from public places. I agree, we should all take a stand.

Hello LJ,
I appreciate your great review and comments. In the movie there was actual film of children being taken right off the streets, sometimes right in front of their homes. Unfortunately parents can no longer relax and assume that their kids are safe in their own yards. This problem needs to be exposed and dealt with aggressively.
Have a blessed evening.

All I could think of in reading this, Tom, is this movie gets so little attention, and "Barbie" is all over the news.
This is a film that here is what would be an art house film, and most of these are now closed.
This story no doubt had to be written to bring attention to the film and the horror of child sex trafficking.
Thank you for writing this.
Best wishes,
Mary

Hello Mary,
At the end of the film, the main actor, Jim Caviezel mentioned that they had to fight tooth and nail to get this released. It should have come out five years sooner. It's a sad commentary on our value system in this country that entertainment can win out over the truth and trying to address a horrible problem. Thanks so much for the great review gal.
Have a blessed evening.

Jesus told us to become like little children. They are pliable and will not disbelieve God's word as many worldly adults would. Myself, I worked with retarded and developmentally disabled children and adults, and many of these made perfect victims.

Hello Jim,
thanks so much for the great review and comments. I worked as a special-ed aide at school and worked with a number of kids who were easy targets as well. When an individual makes the decision to go down a path as despicable as the exploitation of children, there isn't much that they won't do. We're living in a fallen world, but we can be the light that Jesus spoke of.
Have a blessed day.

Six stars for content! I have already seen this movie, and I think your review here is spot on. My mother is such a big fan of Tim Ballard, who has been working to fight all of this exploitation as the former CEO of Operation Underground Railroad. Then she did some genealogy and found out we are related to him. There is another lady writer here on Fanstory who volunteers with this organization, but I can't remember just now who it is. Actor Jim Caviezel sure does a great job staring down some of the bad guys.

Hello Crystie,
Thanks so much for the generous review. I need to check into Tim Ballard more. I had read a book some years back about the kidnapping and exploitation of children in India after a tsunami. It was my first exposure to this despicable practice. It shames me to think that our country would be a primary destination for these innocent children.
Have a blessed evening.

Thanks for sharing this movie... It is a tough topic, and that's why we need to pay attention. I just looked and found out it's playing the next town over, although I have seen no advertising or promotion for it...

(All that budget money goes to Barbie I think)

I haven't been to a movie in a dog's age myself but will make it a point to check this out.

Blessings,

Karenina

Hello Karenina,
I hope you do take the opportunity to see this touching movie. The powers that be didn't want to have this movie produced. There was a five year delay in the production. Thank God it finally is being seen by a number of people across this country. I was so glad that I took the time to see it. My pastor mentioned that one church, I believe in Palmer Alaska had bought out the movie theatre for two nights so anyone who wanted to could go see it. My daughter's church did the same for one night I believe. Good people need to take a stand or we'll be overwhelmed by those who are evil. Thanks so much for the great review gal.
Have a blessed evening.
