Anons what can we do to bring disappearing children into the narrative and help expose this issue?
For anyone out there who is a #WalkAway / #DemExit (like me) whose friends and family are all on the left end of the political spectrum, I found something that has actually opened the door just a crack to start this discussion!! This isn't a way to change the narrative on the internet, but an idea for people to approach family and friends to get a conversation started.
If you know someone who is into indie movie, foreign films, and that kind of stuff, watch the movie, LION, with them. I hate that it's a damn Weinstein Company movie, but there are scenes in there that woke my BF up!
Lion is the true story of an Indian boy who accidentally gets trapped on a decommissioned train for several days, ends up in a part of India where no one speaks his language, ultimately ends up getting adopted out to a couple in Australia, but eventually returns to India to find his biological family. It's slow paced and very emotional (be forewarned). I would actually let the person know that the film has a happy ending or some may stop watching before getting too far into it. The beginning is so hard to watch.
There's one scene where this boy narrowly escapes getting sold to a trafficker, but just in case the viewer didn't pick up on exactly what was going on, it shows it more clearly in a second scene at an orphanage where another boy is trafficked out overnight and the person taking him is told to bring him back by morning.
This movie affected me so much, and I knew it would affect my BF. Have info ready to give them like links to Fiona Barrett's testimony, links to Ronald Bernard's videos.
