This is a movie about sex trafficking and how rampant it is. The frightening fact is this is happening in our own backyards and sometimes the person involved is a trusted family member.
Caged No More tastefully handles without going to far the uncomfortable, scary reality many young people, boys and girls will experience and how they are groomed and lied to. It also shows the vulnerability and trust as they feel something is wrong but don't know how to fight against it or even consider this may be wrong because of the trusted family member.
We follow the story of two sisters and "Aggie" a family friend/grandmother figure who is fighting to get the girls back from their father. She does what she can to get someone to listen and help her because of a promise she made to the girl's mother as she died in her arms. Although Aggie is not fully aware of the "real" danger they are in she moves Heaven and Hell to get to "her" girls.
This is a good jumping off point to talk to your children about more of the very real dangers they will need to protect themselves against in this world. My kids are too young but I plan to talk to them age appropriately and watch this with them in a few years.
I enjoy reading and must check this out. This problem is more widespread than most people believe. Good to stop here. Thank you for reviewing this.
ReplyDelete(Caged No More - A Movie About Sex Trafficking) I think this is a subject that we should all be talking to our kids about now days. As crazy and as awful as the world we live in today, they all need to know that this is going on today. Knowledge is everything-
