OK, up until now I’ve been writing in the third person, but that’s just weird. So no more of that nonsense. I’m Abby, and you can read more about how I got involved with Rapha House under the “Who We Are” section. Unless otherwise noted, I will be your tour guide from here on out.
When trying to talk to someone about human trafficking – and sex trafficking specifically – it’s pretty easy for me to start feeling overwhelmed by the amount of very serious information there is to communicate. So many issues feed into this epidemic, and sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin. Which is why I was thrilled to come across this awesome documentary.
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen this topic laid out in such a clear, concise and interesting manner. I love the fact that it deals with all the major facets of this multidimensional problem, and does so in a way that is engaging. I cannot recommend it enough. I recommend the full 45 minute version, though I will forewarn you (as they do on the website as well) that, due to the nature of the topic and the fact that they deal with it where it takes place, there is some graphic material, nudity, and sexual content. It’s nothing explicit, but I would hesitate before showing it in a church service. If you’re not up for watching that, there’s a condensed, 16 minute version that leaves out the more graphic material.
Do yourself a favor, check it out.
hey Abby,
I watched the documentary and found it very informational. I guess I had never really thought about what all goes into the sex industry. I have been forcing myself to become more and more educated about this crime and other social injustices. It’s hard, reading the facts and hearing the stories… but I know that God is giving me a tender heart that seeks to help these girls who have been so abused.
