It's a good movie (though a hard one to watch). I do feel like the team behind it dropped the ball when it came to energizing people to get involved fighting trafficking. After the movie ends there is a special message, but it simply praises people for watching it and asks for people to donate to buy tickets for more people to see it.

Not so much as a single reference to Operation Underground Railroad (the anti-trafficking organization Ballard founded) or any other way for people to take meaningful action. So that was a huge disappointment for my wife and I.

For those interested, here are some other groups you can check out to support or get involved with:

Rescue America (Specializes in low-risk "Exits" - picking up trafficked victims who have enough freedom of movement to walk out a door, and gets them to safe houses for rehabilitation.)

Saved in America (Vets/special ops types who are spending their retirement hunting down and rescuing children)

HER Campaign (specializing in safe houses/rehab)

A21 (secular group focusing more on preventation and education.)

I also know of some foreign groups doing good work providing care and rescuing victims, if anyone is interested reply or message me.
