ELTV: Restoration61 Ministries w/Kara Doan, & A "Sound Of Freedom" film interview w/an actor! Zoom

With the release of the Movie, Sound Of Freedom, we have come to understand that the United States is the biggest consumer of Human Trafficking! According to naomishouse.org, Commercial sexual exploitation is human trafficking, forced prostitution, or any acts that treat a minor or non-consenting adult like a piece of property that can be taken advantage of sexually. This includes illegal activities as well as any activity that results in the immediate and long term mental, physical, or emotional harm of victims. According to streets.org, men and boys are also trafficked an sexually exploited in the U.S. Data shows that men and boys made up more than 1/3rd of those exploited in the sex trade. However, there are no services available to male victims and survivors. Our hope is by doing this program we can continue to shed light on this issue and stir the hearts of viewers to make a difference in their communities and circles of influence.
Toward the end of the program, we Interview with Gary Basaraba, of the movie "Sound Of Freedom" on zoom, who shares about the rough role that no big name actors wanted, and why he chose to take it as an actor. Gary shares what he really thinks about the issue of child human trafficking.

Kara Doan
Kara Doan attended a summit where she learned about the prevalence of human trafficking in Illinois. At that time, she was a math teacher on the south side of Chicago and realized that the very students she had been teaching and pouring her life into were the same ages as those targeted by traffickers.
Motivated to do something, Kara and her husband, Paul Doan, educated themselves on how communities could help individuals in exploitative situations. They encouraged their church to get involved and collectively spent a year strategizing how they would serve victims of human trafficking. Kara and Paul had experienced tremendous healing and restoration in their lives and wanted to give that same freedom to others.
