Beyond the Neon

As a dad, I thought I had a good handle on the scary things my kids might face, but this movie surprised me. Sex trafficking in America hit me hard. It opened my eyes to how rampant and sneaky this issue is. The survivors who bravely shared their stories had me feeling all sorts of emotions.

The movie was not shy about showing how young girls get lured into trafficking and how they are treated like objects that can be bought and sold. But the ending of the movie was absolutely insane. I don't want to spoil anything, but a complete curveball left me totally shaken. The cliffhanger had me thinking about what might happen next and the bigger picture of the whole thing.

As a parent, it's our job to stay in the loop on issues that could hurt our kids. This movie opened my eyes and reminded me that we must do everything possible to educate and protect our children against people like this. I recommend that every parent watches it!
