Excellent video. Brings to the forefront the horrible problem we have in America of sex trafficking. Thanks to Whitestone for doing this. The music was great. the acting was superb. The story was hard to watch but told a story without being sexually explicit which made it tolerable for all viewers. We need wide distribution of this film for action from all parts of the country. I saw the inaugural viewing of this film in Atlanta with 4000 other people and it was a crowd pleaser as far as the professionalism it took to produce this film. I hope everyone in America has a chance to see it as soon as possible so they can initiate programs in their neighborhoods to stop this sorry crime that some sick people commit.
Very well written and produced. Great dialect and metaphors.
I've been following WSMP since the great story of the Tin Man from Wizard of OZ "Heartless" (you will have to google that one); and they never fall short from their niche - which is to tell a great story!
My expectations were set really high on this film due to the trend that has been set with their previous films. I must say, although The Candy Shop is a bit controversial, the message is clear and the quality of the film is again, outstanding.
I give it another "bag of kudos" for WhiteStone. I look forward to more from this Georgia Based film company.

What a BRILLIANT way to make a PSA. Such a creative approach to show awareness of this horrible and haunting reality in the Atlanta Community.
I loved the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Theme...It really drew me in instantly!! This story touched me and brought me to tears.
I have known about this horrible victimizing problem in our Atlanta community for some time now and I am so pleased to see such a talented and bright production team bring light and attention to this horror.
I don't think anyone could of done it in a more captivating way. I loved the picture, script, talented actors,,,etc etc!!! Great job guys, GREAT JOB!

Whitestone Motion Pictures does it again. As with everything Whitestone does the production value is excellent. This is a great film about an important topic. Glad to see there is a motion picture company that's willing to develop a compelling story around important and often ignored issue. We went to the premier of the film with a 16 year old kid from our neighborhood who's 18 year old sister has been prostituting herself since she was 13. He left the film with a sense of responsibility that he like the boy in the film needed to rescue his sister from the evil that is in her life. I can only hope there are more films like this that help people look at issues we don't like to talk about.
A truly brave outing into a dark subject matter. Moments of excellence and enough jumps and tears to make this, in my mind, a classic. Doug Jones shines as always. If you're a fan of Neil Gaiman then this ones for you as it ticks all the boxes. I support the National Society for the Prottection of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) and this film covers the horrific reality of child trafficking without turning into a peace of study matter (although it should be studied closely). The director has taken a massive gamble with a taboo subject and pulled it off with flying colours. I hope this film reaches a wider audience and opens societies eyes to the reality of child abuse. I hope this review hasn't scared you off as I would recommend this film to everyone.
