#CagedNoMore

If you've known me very long at all (or at least followed me on facebook!) you've probably noticed that I'm passionate about ending human trafficking, the modern day slavery that holds about 27 million men, women, and children captive around the globe. One of the best ways to fight it, besides prayer of course, is to spread awareness about it.

I could give you a bunch of facts about it, but honesty you could read them for yourselves in my previous post about trafficking. Today, I want to spotlight one way to raise awareness.

 

Caged No More is a movie about human trafficking. Don't worry; I won't spoil it! But I want to tell you about it. (You can visit the website and view the trailer through the link above)

This movie, created by the co-producers of God's Not Dead, was well-done. Casting, dialogue, musical score, acting, emotion...it had it all. It wasn't very preachy, and although it was a little fuzzy on a couple of details, the message couldn't have been clearer. So you could say it is a "good" movie.

But it isn't "good". It isn't "great". It's absolutely heartbreaking.

At one point in the movie, you realize that one very innocent girl is about to be sold into sex trafficking. I considered fleeing the theater so I wouldn't have to see it unfold. I stayed, and I'm glad I did; but this movie really cuts deep. I watched the documentary Nefarious:Merchant of Souls a few years ago and it was horrific and sickening (still, very well-done and worth the watch), but Caged No More is different because you will connect to just a few characters and you can imagine yourself or your friend or your sister in one of those situations and it hurts.

Regardless, I encourage you to see this film and support it. It won't be in theaters much longer so don't wait too long! Knowledge is power, and this film gives you knowledge...and beyond that, it delivers a passion to do something about human trafficking.

***HOWEVER***

This movie is NOT for everyone. Although it deals with such dark subject matter, there is very little graphic content. But it is a very intense movie, not just from the suspense, but from the whole concept. So, look at movie reviews such as this one to see if you and/or your family can go see it. (Comment below or contact me if you're not sure...I'll try to help!)

If you are only vaguely aware of human trafficking, or if you have friends who are, then this is a good movie to see. It exposes you to just a small facet of the global and diverse evil. Understand, though, that the method depicted in the movie is only one of many ways that slaves are acquired, and that much of this can be happening in your own backyard. 

I strongly encourage you to go see this movie. It will impact your life. Once you've seen it, spread the word about it. And most importantly...pray. Pray for the victims. Pray for those who enslave them. Most of all, pray for a change of heart in the men who create a demand for slaves; once the demand is gone, the supply will be free.
