Executive produced and narrated by Natalie Grant, "In Plain Sight: Stories of Hope and Freedom" features six modern-day abolitionists as they fight sex trafficking across America. Eight premieres are scheduled around the nation, and the first will be held at Franklin Theatre in Nashville, Tennessee, on Thursday, September 18th, at 7pm with special guest Natalie Grant.
Journeying to six US cities, the documentary opens the viewer's eyes to what's happening down the street "in plain sight." Through engaging interviews with numerous victims of sex trafficking, the force, coercion, and deception of the children and women becomes apparent. In the midst of the darkness, stories of hope and freedom emerge as each survivor shares how she was impacted through the work of a sex trafficking aftercare home.
"The reality is that children are being ravaged day in and day out. If you have a heart beating on the inside of you, I don't understand how this couldn't be important to you," said Natalie Grant, narrator and co-executive producer.
"Most Americans are completely oblivious to the fact that thousands of women and children are enslaved within their own communities," said David Trotter, co-executive producer. "Our goal is to schedule over 100 screenings at churches, universities, and theaters in the month of January 2015 to honor National Human Trafficking Prevention Month."
With a focus on educating the American public and motivating people to take action, the campaign centers around three resources to be released by Word Entertainment on December 23rd, 2014, including the documentary film, "In Plain Sight: Stories of Hope and Freedom" available on DVD; a music album with a compilation of hymns from well-known Christian artists with 100% of the proceeds going to Abolition International; and a 31 day devotional and group study guide.
