Speaker 1: Becky Rasmussen with Call to Freedom and Becky, you are
Speaker 1: a busy, busy lady this time of year.
Speaker 2: Absolutely if you want to learn more about this issue.
Speaker 2: On Thursday, January sixteenth, we will have an informational luncheon
Speaker 2: and you can go to Call to Freedom dot org
Speaker 2: and get information and sign up for the luncheon, but
Speaker 2: also information on all of these events under our events page.
Speaker 2: But that luncheon really allows you to hear the work
Speaker 2: that calls Freedom is doing as well as what are
Speaker 2: we seeing here in South Dakota. If this is kind
Speaker 2: of a new topic to you, you know, we want
Speaker 2: to share some of the lived experience of those who
Speaker 2: walked through the doors have called the freedom, how it's
Speaker 2: facilitated here, and you'll learn a lot of information and
Speaker 2: data about a topic of human trafficking as well, and
Speaker 2: then we are looking at Tuesday February fourth, So we
Speaker 2: wanted to schedule it in January, didn't happen, so we're
Speaker 2: a little bit into February with some of these events.
Speaker 2: But Tuesday, February fourth, we will be downtown State Theater.
Speaker 2: This event is free and we will be doing a
Speaker 2: special screening of the movie Trapped Doors. Will open at
Speaker 2: six events starts at six point thirty. The producer whose
Speaker 2: name is e. JZ. Cohen, and he is actually coming
Speaker 2: to South Dakota for a Q and A after the
Speaker 2: movie and his experiences that he was actually impacted by
Speaker 2: somebody who had been trafficked, learned her story and wanted
Speaker 2: to make a difference. So he actually interviewed eighty one
Speaker 2: other survivors across the United States and came up with
Speaker 2: this movie that he filmed out in North Dakota because
Speaker 2: he realized that this is happening in rural communities. After
Speaker 2: interviewing eighty one people, He's like, I want to give
Speaker 2: a real true perspective us how this is happening within
Speaker 2: small communities communities across the United States. And so it's
Speaker 2: a pretty you know, it's a pretty close to what
Speaker 2: we see in South Dakota, and that's why I wanted
Speaker 2: to show it here in South Dakota tocause people really
Speaker 2: what does this look like? And it features two young
Speaker 2: girls who have been impacted by sexual abuse, human trafficking,
Speaker 2: and commercial sexual exploitations. So there's two different storylines that
Speaker 2: are happening during this movie. But it really gives you
Speaker 2: a perspective of how it happens in rural communities and
Speaker 2: how nobody's really immune to it if they're vulnerable and
Speaker 2: living in vulnerable situations. So Vota called a freedom dot
Speaker 2: org to get registered for the movie. We have limited
Speaker 2: seating and so it is free to the community. So
Speaker 2: register at called the freedom dot org and we'll reserve
Speaker 2: view of seats and then at the end of the
Speaker 2: movie again we'll do a Q and a question and
Speaker 2: answer with the producer as well as we'll have two
Speaker 2: individuals interviewing people as their exit about their experience and
Speaker 2: their thoughts and how the movie impacted them. And those
Speaker 2: actual interviews will be used nationally to promote the movie.
Speaker 2: So we're excited about that night and excited to be
Speaker 2: able to help spread awareness in the month of January
Speaker 2: and February.
Speaker 1: And again the thing that's nice the movie is February fourth,
Speaker 1: so that's out a little ways. The sixteenth is when
Speaker 1: that luncheon is. And if you listening to this or going, man,
Speaker 1: I would love to help somehow. Here's a way you
Speaker 1: can help without even writing a check. You can help
Speaker 1: by just spreading the word, letting people know, going on
Speaker 1: social media and using the hashtag call the freedom hashtag ended.
Speaker 1: Those are simple ways that you can help. Or if
Speaker 1: you're saying, hey, I'd like to help and I happen
Speaker 1: to have a checkbook, candy, you can certainly make a
Speaker 1: donation as well, and that is certainly welcome. I call
