    Amazing

    This movie was amazing and inspiring. It is horrifying to see how many kids are sold for sex trafficking each year. I hope everyone takes the opportunity to view this movie to understand the seriousness and realness of this situation constantly growing in the world today. The people that take part in the video are inspiring and life changing. The different stories in the movie are real and it is cool to see how the people go about trying to safe the children. It is a very emotionally moving video that will make you cry and encourage you to do more good in your life. So make sure you have someone to cry with when you watch this amazing movie!

    Powerful, emotional, and life changing

    This movie portrays in a powerful way the tragic plight of children who are being sex trafficked. Tim Ballard and his organization Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R) are liberating hundreds of children. The movie will move you and cause you to take action.It is done tastefully yet with power and conviction. Your children should see this movie to become aware of this critical issue.

    If you think you would have opposed slavery in the United States in the 19th century then oppose child sex slavery today. When Abraham Lincoln met Harriet B. Stowe he said, "So you're the little lady that started this war." The Abolitionist is the modern equivalent of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Watch the movie and be changed forever!

    Better Than Sound of Freedom!

    This is Such an Important Documentary in the effort to raise Awareness of this fast growing crime across the World!!

    The Sound of Freedom also did this and must be commended for it's excellence. However, the True story with Actual footage is Far more Dramatic than the film. The film is not even half the story as there is no mention of the ongoing search for Gardy.

    Every Single person who contributed to making this documentary should be proud of their work! Especially the camera crews facing as much Danger as anybody & achieving excellence.

    Even tho' it was made 10 years ago - Re-Post it!!!!
