Buy tickets today to see Still Hope in theaters starting February 5th!

When you purchase a ticket to Still Hope, you help shine
a light on the fight against trafficking and amplify the hope this film was created to
share! 

 A portion of ticket proceeds will go towards organizations that care for victims of trafficking.

Synopsis: 

Hope, a teenager from a tight-knit community, finds herself in danger when the person she believes to be a new friend proves unsafe. Taken from all she knows, Hope is forced into sex trafficking and stripped of her identity. After finding freedom from her captors, Hope discovers that survival is only the first step. Inspired by true stories, Hope’s journey is a powerful illustration of the courage it takes to walk the complex path of recovery.

Still Hope is a movie where awareness about human trafficking meets compassion and recovery begins. Freedom is just the beginning. This is a Christian film. However, it is a very deep subject and may not be appropriate for young children. There are drug and alcohol scenes, no sex scenes, however, it shows them at the door and being accepted in as well as evidence of the abuse that the girls get. A very good sound board for those that want to see a glimpse of what is involved in human trafficking. It is a story of hope, strength, bravery, faith, and forgiveness.
