Sound of Freedom: Fact or Fiction? (with Joel Oosterman)

"Sound of Freedom" is one of the most surprising blockbuster movies ever. It exposes the hidden evil of child sex trafficking. But is it true? More important than the film's characters and plot line is the question, "Is this really happening?" Canadian political staffer Joel Oosterman has been involved in confronting this issue for many years. He explains to Bible Teacher Alan Gilman the many facets of human trafficking, how extensive it is, and what we can do about it. Special attention is given to the Canadian context, but not exclusively.RESOURCESCanada's 24/7 National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-833-900-1010Survivor stories. • Timea Nagy’s Story ("Out of the Shadows: A Memoir"): https://amzn.to/3QfUeek • Casandra Diamond's TED Talk: https://youtu.be/Rg6xCRemYw4 Learn about human trafficking/online exploitation/talk to your kids & friends • National Human Trafficking Education Centre (Joy Smith Foundation): https://www.nhtec.ca/• Kids in the Know (Resources to talk to your kids from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection): https://www.kidsintheknow.ca/app/en/parents• Slavery in products we buy (World Vision Canada - PDF file): https://www.worldvision.ca/WorldVisionCanada/media/NCFS/Risky-Canadian-Grocery-Report-Final-03Feb2021.pdfSupport Canadian International Anti-Trafficking Organizations that help rescue victims of human trafficking AND provide long term, holistic aftercare.• Ratanak International: https://www.ratanak.org/• International Justice Mission: https://www.ijm.org/• International Justice Mission Canada: https://www.ijm.ca/Contact Joel Oosterman: [email protected] this podcast: https://alangilman.ca/support/Questions/comments: [email protected]: @alangilman
