Speaker 1: Excited to visit once again with Becky Rasmussen from Call
Speaker 1: to Freedom. January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and
Speaker 1: they've had several events that have happened already this month
Speaker 1: and they've got another one that's coming real soon. Tell
Speaker 1: me about the event that's happening at the State Theatre
Speaker 1: in downtown sou Falls.
Speaker 2: We want to schedule it in January, didn't happen, so
Speaker 2: we're 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 of 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 to gause people,
Speaker 2: really what does this look like? And it features two
Speaker 2: young 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: you with 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 they're exiting 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: Again, the film is happening in downtown SiO Falls February fourth.
