Who is here after watching this masterpiece movie. Blind eyes opened dvd. Blind eyes opened movie times. The hell is Captain Marvel doing in WB studio. Denis Grasska / CNS | 01. 23. 2020 SAN DIEGO (CNS) -- A powerful new documentary on sex trafficking, being shown in select theaters Jan. 23 only and then for a month at churches that sign up to host a screening, makes its intentions clear from the outset. " Blind Eyes Opened: The Truth About Sex Trafficking in America " begins with this scriptural passage from Isaiah: "to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. " Over the hour and a half that follows, viewers' eyes will indeed be opened, not only by the many disturbing facts related on-camera by law enforcement personnel, legislators and those dedicated to facilitating the healing of trafficking victims, but also through the haunting first-person accounts of six survivors of this modern-day form of slavery. In a Jan. 17 telephone interview with The Southern Cross, San Diego's diocesan newspaper, executive producer Geoffrey Rogers described the film as unabashedly "a Christian documentary. " "Certainly it exposes the darkness, it shows the truth about sex trafficking in America -- that's the goal of it -- but, when we produced it, we had a very clear objective and that was to show the hope in Jesus Christ to solve this problem, " he explained. During the film, viewers hear from survivors who share Jesus' role in their recovery. The film also shows Christian ministries reaching out to those in the commercial sex trade, and it concludes with a direct challenge to its Christian viewers to do more to combat this societal scourge. After the documentary's one-night-only theatrical release, churches can host their own one-night screenings of the film during a monthlon period, from Jan. 24 to Feb. 20. Several of those interviewed on camera in "Blind Eyes Opened" suggest that society's blindness to this widespread crime is the result of simply not wanting to believe that such things are happening, with increasing frequency, in our own neighborhoods. In the film, Cpl. Alan Wilkett of the Pasco County Sheriff's Office in Florida tells viewers, "It's happening right before our eyes, and yet we're not seeing it. " The film tackles such topics as the insidious ways in which children are lured by traffickers who often prey on vulnerabilities such as low self-esteem and an unstable family life; how law enforcement has shifted from viewing trafficked persons as criminals to recognizing them as crime victims; what additional steps that American society can take against trafficking; and what resources are currently available to those fortunate enough to escape from such a hellish life. Among the many heartbreaking stories recounted in the film is that of Edie B. Rhea, founder of Healing Root Ministry Inc., a nonprofit led by trafficking survivors. Her father died when she was 4. A few months later, a man named Bill moved in with her and her mother. He molested her when she was 10 and, two years later, began selling her for sex to strangers. A childhood photo of a smiling Edie is seen onscreen as the grown woman recounts her lost innocence and the multiple rapes she endured at the butcher shop that Bill and her mother owned. On one occasion, Bill prostituted her in exchange for a new meat grinder. Rhea says in the film that she believes that there were "lots of opportunities for people to see (what was happening), but they didn't see. " "The signs were there, " she added. "They just looked the other way. " Rogers described the survivors' testimonies as "so incredibly powerful. " He said meeting them left an indelible mark on him and his wife. "The messages that these survivors tell are unbelievably heart-wrenching and then incredibly inspiring, because you hear of their faith in Jesus and what He's done for them, " said Rogers, who stepped away from a 15-year career in the corporate world in 2011 after feeling that God was calling him to ministry. Today, he is the CEO and co-founder of the U. S. Institute Against Human Trafficking and the president of Ships of Tarshish Films, a nonprofit that produces television and film content for Christian audiences about important social issues. "Blind Eyes Opened" is the second project from Ships of Tarshish. In its unflinching look at sex trafficking, "Blind Eyes Opened" also takes aim at pornography and abortion. "We identify pornography as the number-one fueling factor that is driving the demand for sex trafficking in America, " Rogers said, explaining that porn addiction leads addicts to seek out increasingly deviant forms of pornography -- and sometimes even to pay for sex -- to achieve the same level of arousal. Abby Johnson, the former Planned Parenthood clinic director who became an outspoken pro-life activist and whose conversion story was dramatized in the 2019 film " Unplanned, " is interviewed in "Blind Eyes Opened" about the connection between trafficking and abortion. "Abortion is the best thing on the planet for an abuser because it covers up and hides the abuse, " she tells viewers. One of the six featured survivors is Brook Parker-Bello, now the founder, CEO and executive director of More Too Life Inc., a nonprofit that provides mentoring and education to trafficking survivors. She shares that her trafficker forced her to undergo multiple abortions. During her onscreen interview, she pauses, seemingly holding back tears. In a broken voice, she reveals that, as a lasting legacy of those abortions, she has experienced several miscarriages during her marriage and has been unable to carry a child to term. "Blind Eyes Opened" concludes with a powerful call for Christians to enlist in the battle against sex trafficking. "You've got to fight the fight, " Kevin P. Malone, co-founder and board president of the U. Institute Against Human Trafficking, tells viewers near the end of the film, "and I believe, when the Church accepts that responsibility and really engages, we can make a major difference.

I am surprised that this trailer hasnt ended up on the trending page considering the amount of people watching now. God is good. Michele Coomer is a victim of sex trafficking. The 49-year-old married mother of four says she kept the horrors of her childhood a secret for much of her life. But Coomer says in 2013 she was finally able to reveal to her husband how she was abused by a now-deceased family member who repeatedly sold her for sex as a girl. "It was terrifying to tell my husband... I didn't know how he was going to react, " said Coomer, who lives in Hendersonville. "He just folded me into his arms and said 'This doesn't change things. This doesn't change who you are. I will always love you. '" Coomer has continued to tell her story. She is one of the survivors featured in a new documentary, " Blind Eyes Opened: The Truth About Sex Trafficking in America. " It will be shown Thursday evening in nearly 800 theaters nationwide and several Nashville-area theaters are participating in the one-night-only viewing. The feature-length documentary by a Christian production company, Ships of Tarshish, took six years to make and is billed as a "first-of-its-kind look at the dark roots of sex trafficking, " a news release states. Not only does it dig into this modern slavery epidemic, but the movie also shows how Christian beliefs can help victims heal. "Once you've learned how to recognize human trafficking, you begin to see it everywhere — it's in every single community, " Geoffrey Rogers, a "Blind Eyes Opened" executive producer, said in the news release. Rogers is also the CEO of the faith-based nonprofit U. S. Institute Against Human Trafficking. It works to end trafficking in a number of ways, including partnering with government and community leaders to create trafficking-free zones and advocating for laws that punish those buying sex. Coomer said charges were never filed against the family member who abused her. But her relationship with God, professional help and sharing her story has helped with her own healing process. Coomer, who is a longtime member of Long Hollow Baptist Church in Hendersonville, said she also hopes her story will help others. "My goal is for them to know that if they have had similar experience, whether it is being trafficked or sexually exploited or sexually abused as a child, that there is hope and freedom on the other side, " Coomer said. Coomer continues to be involved in the fight to end human trafficking. Today, she helps rescue victims in Thailand. Through an organization, Coomer visits the country a couple times a year in order to build relationships with women trapped by sex trafficking. The goal is to help them escape their circumstances. It is not just survivors who can make an impact. The church also can play a role in ending human trafficking, Kerri Rogers, a "Blind Eyes Opened" executive producer and writer, said in the news release. That work should include reducing the demand for pornography and ministering to sex trade workers. "We absolutely need the church to engage in this crucial battle; but first, followers of Christ have to allow themselves to see the problem, and that’s what this movie aims to do, " Rogers said. "If we're going to truly overcome the evil of sex trafficking, hearts have to change; and this only happens through the love of Christ. " Coomer encouraged people to see the new documentary so they can recognize when human trafficking is occurring. "It's happening everywhere. It is happening in your neighborhood. It's happening to people who look and appear absolutely like a normal American family, " Coomer said. "I think if people were just more aware and just kept their eyes open and new how to keep their eyes open that we could stop some of this trafficking that's happening.
