Behind the film
A movement has begun to end the sexual exploitation of women and children that is rampant in our city.
Churches, government, marketplace leaders, and no-profits have been collaborating to raise advocacy, develop preventative programs, and build a holistic secure community for the rehabilitation of those coming out of child prostitution.
It has been the collective belief that the City of Phoenix could be an example to cities in our nation and around the world of the enormous potential when different sectors of society come together to meet physical, spiritual, and social needs.
