Detroit, MI - Feature-length drama TRAFFICKED: A Parent’s Worst Nightmare is poised to release on DVD and digital HD on January 26, during Human Trafficking Awareness Month.  Directed by Joel Paul Reisig and written by Reisig, George Sunders, and Scott Voshel, TRAFFICKED is based on actual stories of American families who have had their lives uprooted after a child has been abducted and trafficked. The film will be distributed through Virgil Films.

Bob Elder, President of Collide Media Group, shares, ”Awareness is the first step towards putting an end to these atrocities in our world. Trafficked is a heart-pounding feature film reminding us of how urgent this topic is and why we need to act now."

TRAFFICKED is the story of Allison Riley (Sophie Bolen - THE HORSE DANCER, RODEO GIRL), a beautiful young girl with a bright future and a dream of becoming a veterinarian.  On the eve of her 16th birthday, she sneaks out of her house to meet a handsome boy she met online, and disappears.  Her parents, Joanna (Kristy Swanson - BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF) and Case (Mark Boyd - WHIP IT, “12 Monkeys”), contact the police who assume that Allison is just out with a boyfriend. They reluctantly hire Private Investigator John Belton (Dean Cain - Lois and Clark, GOD’S NOT DEAD ) who has a reputation for making his own rules.  Belton quickly discovers that Allison had likely been trafficked by a handsome young man she met online, and that he’s on a race against time if the Riley’s hope to see their daughter again. 

Quote from Joel - “Human trafficking is reaching epidemic levels in the US, yet so many people don’t believe that an atrocity like this could happen in the US. I wanted to shine a light on this issue, and help viewers realize this could happen to any family, any where.”

TRAFFICKED: A Parent’s Worst Nightmare will release January 26, 2021 on DVD and all major VOD platforms.

My Review:

I found Trafficked: A Parent’s Worst Nightmare to be a descent movie to watch. It is a powerful story of how quickly a young woman’s life changed in a matter of minutes. It shows the dangers of meeting people online and easily trusting strangers. As a parent of a preteen, it scares me to think this could really happen to my family. I think the movie would be an important one to watch with older teens. It is a helpful tool of talking about the dangers and being more aware of them. I do want to warn that it does have some strong language and some implications that may be too mature for some audiences and viewers.

I would give Trafficked: A Parent’s Worst Nightmare seven stars out of ten.

I received a digital code of Trafficked: A Parent’s Worst Nightmare for screening and reviewing purposes, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
