PENELOPE'S STORY
SYNOPSIS ||
Could you forgive an abuser when he’s still hunting you down to kill you?
Penelope's Story is about a strong-willed teen tormented through years of sexual slavery, wants to escape her bondage, but her newfound faith must be tested to break the cycle of abuse.
THEME ||
This story is about the “triumph of the human spirit” because we’ve all felt it at some point in our lives feelings of despair, loneliness, unforgiveness, being abused either physically or emotionally and it’s an understandable feeling, don’t you think? Yeah, because we’re human.
All these speak to many of us because it has to do with our experiences and our identity at a certain point in our lives.
This film focuses on the rebirth of a victim of sex trafficking. It gives hope on how do I get from being a “Victim” to the “Hero" of your own life.
