Thinking Biblically with Alan Gilman
Religion & Spirituality
"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.
