Event Details

A DANCE FOR BETHANY tells an inspiring and compelling story of how one woman risks everything to help a sex trafficked victim out of the world of slavery and into a world with a future and a hope of fulfilling a childhood dream of becoming a real dancer.

The fictional story based on the reality of the sex trafficking market in today’s United States.  The fictional Bethany Stevenson is iconic as a 12 year old runaway forced into sex slavery as a stripper/prostitute. The film chronicles the struggle of reporter Abbey Fisher to free her own self from the bondage of a politically correct and comfortable lifestyle into her passion. After meeting and befriending young Bethany, Abbey immediately meets opposition from local club owners who don’t want to lose one of their prime moneymakers.

Abbey is quickly challenged when she learns that she is caught in a tightly woven web of politics, morals and crime and becomes a problem to those who want to profit from sexually exploiting young women. She takes on her husband and his colleague, Senator George Abbot and their attempt at creating legislation that inadvertently profits by the retailing of sex in the US thereby legitimizing it. With the help of Sarah, Abbey's best friend and Co-worker and Eric Vandevere, local dance instructor, Bethany receives support  and courage to make a new life for herself and in the process publicly exposes the dehumanization of the sex trade in her city. In the end, the Reporter, Abbey Fisher is the one who finds true redemption as she reaches outside herself to help another.

ATTENTION:  The producers are looking for "Ambassadors" ASAP in New York City and Miami, FL and the other cities listed below to organize these states and rally support for the premieres. 

They have tools for the Ambassadors to use which will help raise awareness of this very serious issue in America today.
