Hi EV,

I just want to let you know that my parent church Great Exchange Sunnyvale will be showing (for free) the movie "Holly" at our church offices. We are showing the movie at 7PM this FRIDAY and SATURDAY evening. The address is

4600 Patrick Henry Dr.
Santa Clara, CA 94086 US

Description for the Movie

 "Holly" is a movie about a girl who was sold and smuggled to work as a prostitute in Cambodia. Holly is not just one girl. She is the voice of millions of children who are exploited and violated each year with no rights or protection.

So I saw the movie last week with a couple friends and it was very well done. FYI it's not a documentary it's a drama , and even though parts of it was over dramatized a bit , i felt the as a whole, the  movie was very powerful. It did a good job of educating the audience, but not only that, it also challenged the audience to not just be casual observers as these atrocities was going on, but to get up and do something about it. The movie also does a good job on clearing up some of the misconceptions about sex-trafficking and why it's not as simple as just freeing the girls from the brothels, but also reintegrating them into society, It takes five minutes to free a girl from a brothel, but five years to reintegrate her back into society.

All in all, a very well done movie. If you have a heart for this area, i encourage you to go see this movie (for free!)
