The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the world for a global theatrical premiere event: “Still Hope” showing Feb. 5-9 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

Beloved by her family and raised in a quiet community, 16-year-old Hope finds herself in danger when a new friend is not who he claims to be.

Ripped from all she knows and forced into sex trafficking, Hope is stripped of her identity and threatened into submission, surviving years of abuse. Hope finally finds freedom and reunites with the family that never gave up looking for her.

Though now safe, she struggles adjusting to her old life as she reconciles with all she’s endured.

Hope’s journey is inspired by true stories and powerfully illustrates the courage it takes to find healing after life’s darkest moments.

“Still Hope” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Feb. 5-9. Showtimes are Thursday and Friday, Feb. 5 and 6 at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday and Monday, Feb. 7 and 9 at 3:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Feb. 8 at 12:30 p.m.

Tickets are $15 general admission, or $13 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
