Faith On Film Festival

So me an' my newly wed got ourselves over to the Faith On Film festival to watch The Disposable Ones and Trade.

Trade. Watch it.

Or don't.

The Disposable Ones. Don't watch it.

But Trade...

... watch it.

Or don't.

See, it's rated R18+. And it does contain some short snippets of nudity. And it does portray ("without showing anything") an act of rape.

So in fact, it's not all rosy.

But then again, neither are the facts on which the movie is based.

50,000 to 100,000 young women are kidnapped and smuggled into the USA every year, as sex slaves.

Never to see their family again.

Never to have a family of their own.

Never to work the jobs they want, or visit the places they want.

Never to choose whom they'll have sex with, or when.

Never to see the light of day, except when their captors want.

50,000 to 100,000 of them.

Every year.

"Trade" is not for everyone.

But it may be for you.

Watch it.

Or don't.
