Excited to visit once again with Becky Rasmussen from Call

to Freedom. January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and they've had several events that have happened already this month and they've got another one that's coming real soon. Tell me about the event that's happening at the State Theatre in downtown sou Falls.

Speaker 2

We want to schedule it in January, didn't happen, so we're a little bit into February with some of these events. But Tuesday, February fourth, we will be downtown State Theater. This event is free and we will be doing a special screening of the movie Trapped. Doors will open at six events starts at six point thirty. The producer whose

name is e. JZ. Cohen, and he is actually coming to South Dakota for a Q and A after the movie and his experiences that he was actually impacted by somebody who had been trafficked, learned her story and wanted

to make a difference. So he actually interviewed eighty one other survivors across the United States and came up with this movie that he filmed out in North Dakota because he realized that this is happening in rural communities after interviewing eighty one people, He's like, I want to give a real, true perspective of how this is happening within

small communities communities across the United States. And so it's a pretty you know, it's a pretty close to what we see in South Dakota, and that's why I wanted to show it here in South Dakota to gause people, really what does this look like? And it features two young girls who have been impacted by sexual abuse, human trafficking,

and commercial sexual exploitations. So there's two different storylines that are happening during this movie, but it really gives you a perspective of how it happens in rural communities and how nobody's really immune to it if they're vulnerable and living in vulnerable situations. So Vota called a freedom dot org to get registered for the movie. We have limited seating and so it is free to the community, So register at called the Freedom dot org and we'll reserve

you with seats. And then at the end of the movie again we'll do a Q and a question and answer with the producer as well as we'll have two individuals interviewing people as they're exiting about their experience and their thoughts and how the movie impacted them. And those actual interviews will be used nationally to promote the movie. So we're excited about that night and excited to be able to help spread awareness in the month of January and February.
