This first of its kind, full length Christian documentary
dives deep into the sex trafficking industry
in the U.S.
This film exposes the darkness that fuels demand, highlights survivors' transformations, engages lawmakers, law enforcement, organizations, ministries, and experts across the country committed to ending these atrocities, all while pointing to Christ as the hope for all involved.
Though survivors' stories are heartbreaking, we must hear them to better understand the crimes of sex trafficking. We can then choose to do something, moving forward in positive action with the knowledge that we can make a difference. We can help prevent the crimes of trafficking. We can provide space for safety, restoration, and healing. There is Hope.
"BLIND EYES OPENED" helps dispel myths about trafficking, shares alarming statistics, includes applicable data to fight these crimes, and stirs viewers to appropriate action.
Ongoing action steps could be becoming more aware and knowledgeable about the issue, sharing what you've learned with others, volunteering with us or another anti-trafficking organization, or offering other support.
