The movie was great and I recommend it for the purpose of spreading awareness. However I give it a 9 star because as a Christian I do not condone the few curse words that were said in the movie. Which although serious the biggest reason why I don't condone or support the entirety of this movie is because God said in his word which is spirit, that we ought not to pay evil with evil. (Which the main character did pay evil with evil and also stood against evil from happening) The Bible says do not resist evil. People may have a different opinion but Gods word stands. Yet, the evil needs to come to the light.

Heart wrenching reality!!
cordelf24 July 2023
I don't have kids but this movie made me fear the idea of having them. There was a time when parents would allow their kids to go outside and play with their friends and without supervision. We can't do that anymore because of situations just like this. This world can't grow and thrive if our children can't be protected. I really hope more people are able to see it. Able to open their eyes to modern day slavery and be more vigilant of our children. More vigilant of God's children. I can't believe it took so long for this film to be produced but I'm glad it made it to the screen. I am certain that my kids and my nieces and nephews will watch it.
Horrible movie
donaldgulledge29 July 2023
I hate that this movie was made, because it had to be made. They did an amazing job, everyone should see this movie. I just wish we didnt live in this world with this going on. Maybe this movie will wake enough people up that we can make the world better and movies like this will be fiction or at least history instead of documentary. Please, help. Please share. Please protect God's children. Defend the defenseless. Praise be to those who have and those who do. This movie shows someone who saved about a hundred kids. There are MILLIONS more to save and protect. America has over 100,000 kids that recently crossed our border without parents and the DHS has no clue where they are, who has them, or if they are safe.
Awakening
dreamangel-4724729 July 2023
This film opened my eyes to the horror that 2 million children live daily. Not only was the film well made with stellar performances but it empowered me to speak up.
2 million children ENSLAVED!
$1.5 Billion a year industry.
What are we doing about it?
What can I do?
I can speak up.
I can pay out forward.
What will you do?
Don't let this day pass without acting. It's so easy to get busy and forget. But what if this was your child?
To quote the movie, would you be able to sleep until you're child was once more safely in their bed?
A single match can start a forest fire, will you be that match?

The world many don't know

The movie that everyone should watch. This needs to come to an end! Our children aren't for sale. The world we live in tears us apart while we should be coming together. Imagine the amount of women and children that could be saved if we all went back to being neighborly neighbors. It can be a little hard to watch it but worth it. Teens, parents and children should watch this movie, it may be hard for a child to watch this but it's such an important lesson and may save their lives. Adults need to be more vigilant of their surroundings. How can we allow this to happen; our children are not for sale!
Need to See
ndienes29 July 2023
Everyone needs to see this movie and recommend to everyone the need to see it. It was sad to watch but needed to be seen to bring awareness of this global problem. I saw it with some members of my church and went again so my friend had someone to go with. I've heard remarks that people are reluctant to watch it but I hope people will know the importance and seeing, sharing and pay it forward as well. We need more movies like this in such a crazy world. Thank you to everyone that had anything to do with its production and God bless everyone that Pays it Forward. At the end of the movie you are told how to contribute.
See What They Don't Want You To See
djteece29 July 2023
We highly recommend you go see this well written movie that was superbly directed with excellent performances by Jim Caviezel, and the rest of the cast and crew. This intense and emotional true story lays out a problem most of us don't want to hear about or do anything about. The truth be told, 'sex trafficking' needs a lot more attention, resources and efforts to fight and hopefully (someday) eliminate as the problem is much bigger than most of us ever imagined. My wife and I donated two tickets to encourage others to see this movie and then hopefully they will encourage others to see it too. There is big money and people in positions of power backing this very sick and perverse problem. The movie took 5 years overcoming hurdles and all kinds of obstacles to get to the Big Screen because certain people and groups don't want you to see it. The movie is setting records because even with the negative media bias, we the people, want the Truth. So go see it!
We need to be the Voice of the children.
ymerkel2 August 2023
What an eye opening story. A story of hope and courage. May God continue to bless those who work to give voice to the innocent voices specially children. Good always prevails over evil, May He let us raise our voices and prayers so we have the courage to speak out against evil.
I pray that each and ever person that goes to the movies to watch this makes a difference in paying forward. It maybe in prayer, donate, or any way your heart is lived to pay it forward.
Let's raise our prayers for those who are marginalized and abused in anyway. May those people who are the power to make changes have the courage and heart to do the right things.

Great movie, Great message, Great call to action
mark-1602430 July 2023
I wasn't for sure what to expect from this movie. Even if the storyline is based on true facts, it's a great movie. But since it's based on true story facts, shame on our government, shame on the world, shame on us as a socity that we are not stepping up to protect the children of the world. Gods Children are not for sale. A must see and a must share.
Ok so now it's telling me my review is to short. Some people may not want to read a long review. There is a great call to action at the end after the credits are over so i highly suggest you wait until the very end to listen to the behind the scents story and action steps you can take.

This brings so much Awareness
kalondakay17 July 2023
This movie should be shared 1,000 times over! It truly brought Awareness to what is happening in our world around us. How unsafe our children are. How there are people who are truly interested in being a predator as if it's a normalcy. Thank you for presenting a movie like this. Every parent needs to see this.
I wish this movie was able to be present it five years ago when it was originally created. I hope everyone supports it and spread it across the world. The two children in the movie were truly brave, and the police officer was an angel. The help that was provided is also heartwarming and reassures that there are many who want to put an end to sex trafficking.

Sucks!
achanoine30 July 2023
It sucks that this movie is based on true events.
There is now 50 million slaves in the world in 2023. 26% of these slaves are children so 13 million children being sold and abused at this moment.
There was 4 Million slaves in the US at the height of slavery in 1860 to put it in perspective.
Child / human trafficking should be everyones priority right now but for some reason we are worrying about pronouns.
I do not understand why mainstream media is not talking about this and promoting this film but I'd worry about anyone trying to discredit this movie and do not leave your kids alone with them under any circumstances.

Powerful
msuund26 July 2023
This movie has such a powerful story to tell. The movie was tough at times to watch because of the content and knowing what really happens to these kids (and even adults) caught in the sex slave industry. This movie needs more publicity for the content and the real issue facing so many parts of the world (especially here in the US). It doesn't matter which political spectrum you may lean, this is a movie that needs to been seen and then discussed with friends and family. This problem does not care where you fall on the political side of things. After seeing this movie, if you are not moved emotionally, I would be surprised. Please make time to see this movie.
