    So well done
    The script was great, the acting was great, and the movie gave me all the feels. It is not always an easy movie to watch, but a movie worth watching. Add it to your watch list today. You will not regret the time you spend engrossed in this storyline. Sadly human trafficking is alive and "well" today, and not just over "there" in Europe, but here in the big cities and small towns of America. I'm praying for an end to this evil practice. This is not a movie for small children, but a good one to watch with your teens, to spark discussions and prayer time within your family or church group. Rent it or go to the theater today, but definitely support this film.
