In Plain Sight: Stories
of Hope and Freedom is a disturbing and
compelling documentary that follows six modern-day abolitionists fighting sex
trafficking across the country.
Narrated by Natalie
Grant, the film introduces us to girls who are or were real-life sex-slaves,
real life victims of a hellhole lifestyle from which they could find no way
out. Their plight comes about mostly because of their destitution and
vulnerability, which make them easy prey to evil pimps. Their stories tell the
tale of brokenness and hopelessness – until God pricks the hearts of some several
women across America who – each in their own way – feel God’s call of
compassion on their hearts so strongly, they just have to do something.
In Plain Sight shows what that “something” looks like and how
it changes lives. Drastically.
Six
abolitionists—women from various walks of life and none with any expertize with
regard to sex-trafficking—feel constrained by the Holy Spirit to create a home
for girls wanting out from sexual slavery. The testimonies of these ladies and
the girls they pour their lives into are stunning. In a culture where evil is
often rendered banal or even deemed as good, where sexual slavery is glorified
(think Fifty Shades of Grey and The Family Guy), the girls' stories offer
hope. they highlight the power of redemption through Christ.
Narrator
and co-executive producer, Natalie Grant says, “The reality is that children
are being ravaged day in and day out. If you have a heart beating on the inside
of you, I don’t understand how this couldn’t be important to you.”
David
Trotter, co-executive producer, adds, “Most Americans are completely oblivious
to the fact that thousands of women and children are enslaved within their own
communities. This isn’t limited to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York. We’re
talking about cities across America – from Sacramento to Little Rock to
Baltimore – where the unthinkable is happening.”
In Plain Sight does more than just bring awareness about the
huge problem of sex trafficking in America; it rattles you. It disrupts your
self-comfort and shakes you up. It marks you—hopefully in a way that you’ll get
involved in some small or big way to help prisoners of the sex traffic trade.
