How do you feel the film supported your efforts and intended outcomes?This is by far the best documentary about human trafficking that I have ever viewed. California is a neighboring state, and many of our local survivors have identified that they have been trafficked in locations depicted by the film. It was also very eye opening to attendees to see how different each situation is, but also provided hope that there is help for survivors and that there is a large network of survivors to support each other. |

Yes, many people identified wanting to become more involved in our efforts.

What additional information or resources did attendees request?Ways to help in our community Curriculum for Schools |

We started bringing awareness and sharing information early, which was very helpful! Dates and Times are always hard, so picking a summer evening when families do not have to worry about getting kids to bed may be beneficial. What populations/communities would benefit from a film screening?Everyone! |
What are valuable tactics to ensuring the event is successful?Encouraging RSVP/payment before attendance may help people commit. Broad range of people invited Facebook/Instagram Ads What advice would you give to others wanting to host a screening? Even if you don't get a huge audience, people who are there will learn a lot and will share what they learned. Even if you don't get 300 people, it's still a success!

Always highly recommend! I cannot say enough how much I love this documentary and appreciate the time and effort that was put in to such a quality documentary.

This film generates a much higher response and better feedback than other videos.
