Join us at the Franklin Theater on June 6th for the showing of the short film, “The Twelve Thousand”.  You’re receiving this communication because you have either been to Nepal with Hope Force International and are familiar with our host organization’s work in anti-trafficking, or you have been a financial contributor.  Those of us who’ve been privileged to go have had our lives deeply impacted by what we have witnessed. June 6th is an opportunity to invite friends and family to learn more about this vital work and ways in which we can help.

Admission tickets are free and should be secured in advance. There is a “slide file” for those who want to share this with their church, friends or family. 

We look forward to seeing you there!

Shot on location in Kathmandu, The Twelve Thousand follows Sona through the sobering real-life stages of her trafficking experience. She is lured away from her rural village by the promise of better opportunity in the city, but is ultimately deceived and sold into sex trafficking in an Indian brothel. After being trapped there for three years, Sona was rescued, repatriated back to Nepal and brought to a safe home where she began her healing process. 

A decade later, she decided it was time to take a stand: “If sharing my story will help other kids find healing like I did, I want to tell it.” In this moving retelling of her story, not only are we forced to accept the reality of modern-day slavery from an insider’s perspective, but we also get a glimpse of the hope that lies on the other side of freedom and healing.
