Sextortion: The Hidden Pandemic

Omg, every parent should watch this with their tween or teenager if they have a phone!

There are many good movies out there, but this film is actually important for everyone to see. This film was an eye opener for parents and teens. I thank the makers of this film for shedding light onto this hidden pandemic.

I saw this movie when the producers showed it to a live audience in Nashville, Tennessee, where I live. The burgeoning issue of online abuse of young people is one that has concerned me for some time. This film does an outstanding job of personalizing this issue. Parents and their children need to see this film to gain understanding of this challenge and how to address it. In the theater the night I saw the film, we had a dialogue with the producers after the showing. A couple who had been awakened the previous weekend by their son to tell them about the fact that he had become a victim. These parents drove from another town to see this film and gain insight about what actions they could take to help their son. In addition to parents, I believe church leaders--especially those who minister to children and teenagers--need to see this film and identify strategies to prevent those they minister to from becoming victims of sextortion. School teachers also need to see this film and engage in dialogue about strategies for addressing this problem, as well as people at every level of our government. While I know little about film production, I believe the quality of the film is excellent and presented in ways that will motivate many to take actions about this. People around me the night I saw the film were immediately concerned about this problem. I believe this film can generate wide support for the need to immediately address this issue.

Amazing fast moving beautiful film that everyone must see- especially parents and kids! Opens your eyes to this crime in a non traumatizing way - and keeps you on the edge of your seat entire time!
