I decided to see
this movie when I was notified of its release by Angel Studios long
before all the current controversy about it. I was not disappointed.
Contrary to what some “conspiracy theorists” say, this film is
not a documentary, docudrama, or a religious film; the statistics
listed at the end of the film are published statistics easily found
by an online search, and it was very tastefully done considering the
subject content. This is dramatic movie based on the true story of
Homeland Security Agent, Tim Ballard, and his experiences in trying
to free people, especially children, from human trafficking. It
focuses specifically on a brother and sister and his search for the
sister after he freed the brother at the border crossing in Southern
California. Inspiring and stirring, this move makes us aware of a
tragedy that is happening all around the world and within the U. S.
as well. It was thrilling and often had me on the edge of my seat.
I highly recommend seeing it. It is well past time that these things
that happen in the shadows around us are exposed to the light and
dealt with.
