96.5 THE WALLEYE

When was the last time you watched a movie that moved you?

A film that made you think, a kind of film that isn’t talked about very much at all – for one major reason, it may be so dark that most of us can’t even comprehend. There is a movie director from New York that is planning on diving into the eerie, sinister world of human trafficking – his name is Ejaz Khan. You might remember that name from the last movie he made, which was filmed in Linton, North Dakota, called “Before They Vanished” – Here is the thing about creative filmmakers, they are always looking for their next project, and THIS one took place involving a young lady and her experience with being sexually assaulted – he met her while he was in Linton.

For most of us, it’s beyond our imagination that young girls/women could allow themselves to be in such a horrific situation, but the common thread is they feel powerless. A friend of mine on Facebook has been a huge help to me, she has met Ejaz, and knows just how powerful this movie could be, a dark topic that people don’t really want to talk about.
