<v Speaker 2>we seeing here in South Dakota. If this is kind

18
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>of a new topic to you, you know, we want

19
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 2>to share some of the lived experience of those who

20
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 2>walked through the doors have called the freedom, how it's

21
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 2>facilitated here, and you'll learn a lot of information and

22
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>data about a topic of human trafficking as well, and

23
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>then we are looking at Tuesday February fourth, So we

24
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>wanted to schedule it in January, didn't happen, so we're

25
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 2>a little bit into February with some of these events.

26
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:16.359
<v Speaker 2>But Tuesday, February fourth, we will be downtown State Theater.

27
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>This event is free and we will be doing a

28
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.280
<v Speaker 2>special screening of the movie Trapped Doors. Will open at

29
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.959
<v Speaker 2>six events starts at six point thirty. The producer whose

30
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>name is e. JZ. Cohen, and he is actually coming

31
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:32.879
<v Speaker 2>to South Dakota for a Q and A after the

32
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>movie and his experiences that he was actually impacted by

33
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.719
<v Speaker 2>somebody who had been trafficked, learned her story and wanted

34
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 2>to make a difference. So he actually interviewed eighty one

35
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 2>other survivors across the United States and came up with

36
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>this movie that he filmed out in North Dakota because

37
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>he realized that this is happening in rural communities. After

38
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 2>interviewing eighty one people, He's like, I want to give

39
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>a real true perspective us how this is happening within

40
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 2>small communities communities across the United States. And so it's

41
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 2>a pretty you know, it's a pretty close to what

42
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>we see in South Dakota, and that's why I wanted

43
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>to show it here in South Dakota tocause people really

44
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 2>what does this look like? And it features two young

45
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 2>girls who have been impacted by sexual abuse, human trafficking,

46
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>and commercial sexual exploitations. So there's two different storylines that

47
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>are happening during this movie. But it really gives you

48
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>a perspective of how it happens in rural communities and

49
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 2>how nobody's really immune to it if they're vulnerable and

50
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 2>living in vulnerable situations. So Vota called a freedom dot

51
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 2>org to get registered for the movie. We have limited

52
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.080
<v Speaker 2>seating and so it is free to the community. So

53
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 2>register at called the freedom dot org and we'll reserve

54
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 2>view of seats and then at the end of the

55
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 2>movie again we'll do a Q and a question and

56
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 2>answer with the producer as well as we'll have two

57
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 2>individuals interviewing people as their exit about their experience and

58
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 2>their thoughts and how the movie impacted them. And those

59
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 2>actual interviews will be used nationally to promote the movie.

60
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>So we're excited about that night and excited to be

61
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 2>able to help spread awareness in the month of January

62
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 2>and February.

63
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 1>And again the thing that's nice the movie is February fourth,

64
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>so that's out a little ways. The sixteenth is when

65
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>that luncheon is. And if you listening to this or going, man,

66
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I would love to help somehow. Here's a way you

67
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>can help without even writing a check. You can help

68
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 1>by just spreading the word, letting people know, going on

69
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 1>social media and using the hashtag call the freedom hashtag ended.

70
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Those are simple ways that you can help. Or if

71
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, hey, I'd like to help and I happen

72
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.439
<v Speaker 1>to have a checkbook, candy, you can certainly make a

73
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>donation as well, and that is certainly welcome. I call

74
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the freedom, isn't.

75
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 2>It it is? We appreciate that, And this is every

76
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>voice matters, every action counts, and together we can make

77
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>a difference. And I want to leave you that this

78
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 2>isn't just a call the freedom issue. This is a

79
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>community issue, and so we welcome our community get involved.

80
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 2>And John, thank you so much for covering this topic.

81
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, we need resources to continue this work. You know,

82
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty three we serve four hundred and nineteen individuals.

83
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty four we end of the year of

84
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 2>serving five hundred and thirty six. Yeah, so we are

85
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 2>increasing numbers yearly and the more awareness that goes out

86
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>more people that are walking through our doors for services.
