In Plain Sight: Stories of Hope and Freedom DVD Review


My Review:  In Plain Sight is a documentary of the many men and women who are helping those who have been trapped in the sex trafficking industry by no choice of their own.  They are rescuing young women and men who want to find freedom.  It is  interesting to note that the cities where these abolitionists are working are major cities that are considered "normal" yet this dark side of sex trafficking is drowning the victims and they need help.  This documentary shows how the love of the body of Christ can transform young women who have no hope.  They give a new life to these young women so they can learn to live a better life and use the skills that will give them the confidence to move beyond this tragic life.  There is hope and there is freedom for these victims!

Nashville, Tennessee- 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. Premieres are scheduled around the nation in during January 2015.  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.
 
“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. “This isn’t limited to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York. We’re talking about cities across America – from Sacramento to Little Rock to Baltimore – where the unthinkable is happening.”
 
“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.
 
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. The DVD, music album, and 31 Day Devotional & Group Study Guide will be available in stores nationwide on December 23rd, 2014.
