A new film is shedding light on the dark subject of sex trafficking.
The Turn Out is a fictionalized narrative about a trucker who must decide whether or not he will take a stand against trafficking at his truck stop in small town Appalachia. This story works to bring together testimony of sex trafficking survivors, anti-trafficking activists, and truckers with the work of film professionals to create an unflinching docu-drama of moral dilemma and personal connection.
There will be a screening of The Turn Out at the State Theatre in State College on Thursday, November 16 at 6:00 pm. Following the screening will be an audience Q&A session with the filmmaker, survivors of sex trafficking, and local activists. Tickets are in the form of a donation which will benefit The Freeman Project and Survivor’s Ink. These organizations were founded by women who have survived trafficking and are working to help other women in need. Get your tickets today! Please note that this film contains mature content.
