DVD drama gives voice to trafficking victims

Caged No More tells the story of Aggie (Loretta Devine), an elderly woman looking for two teenage girls she cared for as children. She discovers the girls have been sold into slavery by their own reprobate father (Kevin Sorbo). He sets up his youngest to meet the man who will trick her into a most unfortunate fate by promising her money for modeling.

Aggie learns both youngsters have been taken overseas to be sold into the sex trade. Determined to rescue them, she enlists the help of the girls’ uncle and his son, a former special-forces commando.

At the end of this taut action film, we learn another person becomes a victim of human trafficking every 30 seconds.

Caged No More shows the heroes gallantly fighting the evildoers. Though some characters have a happy ending, the film will leave you feeling uneasy, not triumphant.

Caged No More has good production values and an absorbing story. It’s a pleasure to see a woman of faith have a positive effect on the lives of others, but it’s a sad reality that men and women in this world traffic other human beings to make money or to satisfy some kind of twisted desire. Whatever the reason, the industry is thriving.

The film is available on DVD from Word Distributors. It doesn’t have objectionable language or exploitive sexuality, but it receives a PG-13 rating mainly for the subject matter.
