Film director/writer Lee Whittaker breaks Hollywood rules in his newly-released film, Aimee, The Vigilante (@aimeemovie). In this action-packed, emotionally gripping tale, Whittaker (@LeeWhittaker) tackles the daunting truth of child sex trafficking in suburban middle America. (https;//www.aimeemovie.com.)  Now available on Tubi, a free - repeat free -- movies and TV streaming service (see TUBI on your apps or https://tubitv.com). In this action-packed, emotionally gripping tale based on 10 years of research, victim interviews and rescues, Whittaker tells the story of Jessica, a returning Afghanistan-based sharp-shooting Marine, who experiences a life altering, child-involved trauma just before her return to the US. She must now find her missing 13- year-old sister, Aimee. An emerging ballerina, Aimee is  tracked on her social media and kidnapped by predatory sex traffickers in a harrowing car accident. Jessica, played by actor Jet Jandreau, experiences PTSD trauma as she stops at nothing to find Aimee, now harbored in a middle America suburban home that serves a holding cell for kidnapped children. The film, as entertaining as it is gritty and dramatic, brings home the message of child sex trafficking in every day average America. In the US. of human trafficking cases, 51 percent are child sex trafficking cases. Those cases number in the tens of thousands.
In this episode of THE SOULFAM PODCAST with Diana and Lexi, Whittaker shares his experience as a filmmaker and story teller in bringing this reality to greater light through a live action film. Along with his wife Mary, Whittaker said his hope is that both parents and children become highly aware of the ease and access sexual predators have to teenage social media. With empowering performances from actor Jandreau, her ex-military best friend Dan (played by Eric Pierce) and a graceful, strong Aimee (played by Jamie Timmons), Whittaker shares he and his family's decision to fund the film themselves after multiple rejections from Hollywood A-listers. Whittaker also tells Diana and Lexi why he chose to shed light on the backyard truth of child sex trafficking and the predators who want what they can't have. Additionally, Whittaker shares his support for mental health issues facing American's military veterans as they return to society. Sensitive to the issue of child sex trafficking, Diana and Lexi hope you'll listen to this special episode where our human consciousness and action can change young lives at risk.
