Fathom Entertainment has released the moving trailer for “Still Hope,” a film that takes on the realities of sex trafficking and the courage required for recovery and ultimately, forgiveness.
Produced in partnership with Pixels of Hope Studios and Studio 523, “Still Hope” tells the story of a teenage girl whose life is stolen by traffickers and the difficult road she faces after finding freedom. The film, inspired by true stories, will premiere in theaters nationwide for a limited engagement on Feb. 5–9, 2026.
The film follows 16-year-old Hope, a girl loved by her family and raised in a quiet community. When she befriends someone who is not who he claims to be, she is ripped from everything she knows and forced into sex trafficking. Threatened into submission, she survives years of abuse before finally finding freedom and reuniting with her family, who never stopped searching for her.
Though safe, she struggles to adjust to her old life as she reconciles with the trauma she endured.
“That’s not going to happen,” Hope says in the trailer, when asked if she can forgive those who hurt her. “What they did was unforgivable. I used to be normal. I didn’t get to choose anything in my life. Everything just happened, and I just had to take it.
“Now I can’t sleep; I can’t breathe. I didn’t choose to leave behind everything in my life that was good. It was them who did this to me, and I am never going to forgive them for that, ever.”
The filmmakers said Hope’s journey was inspired by real accounts and is meant to illustrate both the horrors of trafficking and the resilience of survivors.
“‘Still Hope’ represents one of the most powerful and provocative movies we have ever been associated with — a story of healing and redemption that raises awareness on the scourge sex trafficking still plays in modern-day society,” Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Entertainment, said.
