Mission: from website:

Stop the Candy Shop!



Street GRACE and Whitestone Motion Pictures have partnered together to launch a 12-month campaign against CSEC, which is the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. To raise awareness about this issue, director Brandon McCormick has created a 30-minute film called the Candy Shop. This film will be used to provoke meaningful action and start the movement for eradicating CSEC from our community. Join us, as we work to Stop the Candy Shop!


FILM DESCRIPTION -

The Candy Shop is a thirty minute film about child sex trafficking. The story is as follows: Jimmy Balcom’s new job selling newspapers is a God-send to a kid working hard to help his family survive during the depression. But then Jimmy figures out what’s happening in the candy shop across the street. And he is confronted with a choice that no twelve-year-old should ever have to face. Giving his family a better life, or keeping his soul. Doug Jones stars as the Candy Shop owner in this original film from director Brandon McCormick of Whitestone Motion Pictures in conjunction with the Doorpost Film Project.

This film is being made for the Doorpost Film Project, and with support from 12Stone® Church and Street Grace. The film is a Fairytale/Parable about the child sex trafficking epidemic that has overrun our city of Atlanta. We are using the film to not only raise awareness but provoke meaningful action towards this issue taking place in our own backyard.

This plague has gone on for too long, and now we at Whitestone, in cooperation with Doorpost, 12Stone® Church and StreetGrace want to put a stop to it.

This film represents the spearhead of a citywide and possibly a nationwide campaign.
It is not a documentary. It is not a PSA. It is the beginning of a movement.

Volunteers

You can make a difference. As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to work closely with our many Community Partners to prevent new victims of child sex trafficking. From playing basketball, to running a 5K race, to donating gas cards, or being a mentor to an at-risk youth, everything you do as a volunteer is one more step towards eradicating the sexual exploitation of children.
