From the Uber drivers to the hotel clerks, the film will portray how the service industry is working with law enforcement to end this pervasive evil. This film will also showcase an inspiring new narrative of how the hospitality industry is winning the current battle against human trafficking. NOT FOR SALE: FLORIDA will depict true stories of human trafficking crimes. Central Florida is known for its booming tourism market and thriving hospitality industries, but a silent enslaved population of human trafficking victims hides among the millions of people that travel throughout the region. The Lifeboat Project and JC Films Studio are proud to announce their partnership, in conjunction with Hollywood Actor Dean Cain, for the upcoming film NOT FOR SALE: FLORIDA. ORLANDO, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, J/ / - The Lifeboat Project to host VIP Fundraising Event with Hollywood Actor Dean Cain for their upcoming film!

Perhaps an upwelling of public support will shame those who govern the church into accepting responsibility for the actions of those they appointed in betraying the trust of those they were charged to care for.- Jill Bolander Cohen, CEO/Founder of The Lifeboat Project Let’s hope this Geelong initiative will spread, as one speaker said last Wednesday, across Victoria and Australia, bringing Christian compassion and showing victims we do care about them and what they have been through. Tragically, some have not survived, ending their tragic and traumatised lives in loneliness and despair. We are talking about real people, young people who have had to live for decades as survivors of sexual abuse. Or read the dozens of cases on the Broken Rites site on the internet. One only has to read the story of Chris Pianto, sexually abused at St Joseph’s College 1971-73, whose complaints were only acted on after he published his allegations in this newspaper in 1994. It has also brought much of this on itself with its legalistic approach. We know it is not only the Catholic Church that has been confronted with this issue, but because of its size and wealth the Catholic Church has borne the brunt of the bad publicity. Instead of the people who have been involved in cover-ups and moving clergy, teachers and others accused of - or suspected of - sexual abuse from parish to parish and school to school, being accountable, we find them more interested in protecting ”the church”. He seemed to do most of his preaching outside.

Unfortunately, what was termed as “the structural church” last Wednesday evening, which I presume is the governing bishops, archbishops and so on, seems to have been more interested in protecting what I see as “the institutional church”.Ĭhrist wasn’t a “structure” or an “institution”.

Surely, if you are a Christian, it is the person who has been abused - sinned against - who needs compassion, care and protection. I am a Catholic and I have long been ashamed at the manner in which the hierarchy of my church has approached this problem. Interestingly enough, while no Catholic bishops attended (one had accepted the invitation, but had to cancel) Geelong’s Anglican Bishop, Peter Danaher, who has also stood tall for sexual abuse victims within his church, was present and made the point that this issue crossed church borders and all should work together to help the victims of abuse. He certainly wasn’t isolated at the meeting at The Pier last Wednesday evening, with several hundred people - mainly, but not all Catholic - rallying to the cause of victims of child sexual abuse. One even believed he had been isolated because of his stand. Some also spoke of his courage in “taking on his superiors”, claiming it had cost him any hope of promotion. All speakers spoke highly of the courage of St Mary’s parish priest Father Kevin Dillon, who came up with the concept of Lifeboat Geelong, in aligning himself with the victims of sexual abuse and adopting a basic Christian approach of pastoral care and compassion.
