I cannot recommend it enough – Jim Caviezel’s performance is truly awe-inspiring. You can feel the passion and dedication he poured into this role, leaving a lasting impression on your soul,” said one review about the film.”

Another review said, “Amazing movie and brilliantly made. It was a roller coaster ride with pure emotion and made you think of how people can do this dangerous and heroic job, which can bring you to tears of what they have to see and experience.” 

A survivor of human trafficking, Lisa Michelle, who founded Untethered Ministries located in San Antonio, commended the movie for providing her with a special opportunity. She said, “I felt like the baton was passed to me after that film. Everyone’s calling. People are wanting to volunteer, to donate, and all of that, so it’s giving the voice back to me and helping me to navigate the conversation into our real-life trafficking cases that we’re seeing today.”
