Fayetteville to Host Eye-Opening Film on Human Trafficking: ‘The Leslie Rye Story’

Fayetteville, NC, January 19th, 2024 – In a bold initiative to combat human trafficking, Fayetteville’s Stadium Event Center will host a powerful documentary screening, “The Leslie Rye Story,” on the evening of January 19th, 2024, from 6 to 8 PM. This event, produced by Mr. Tony U. Brown, aims to raise awareness about the grim reality of human trafficking through the harrowing tale of Leslie Rye, a survivor of this heinous crime.

Leslie Rye’s ordeal, where she was held captive with a dozen other girls and subjected to abuse and controlled by violence, exemplifies the brutality of human trafficking. Her resilience in sharing her story is vital in helping the community stay alert, aware, and supportive of this cause.

The documentary screening at 421 Maiden Lane is more than just a film event; it’s a platform for education, empathy, and empowerment. The film not only exposes the dark underbelly of human trafficking but also celebrates the indomitable spirit of survivors who have broken free from exploitation’s chains.

In addition to the film, the evening will feature special performances dedicated to the victims and survivors of human trafficking. These acts are set to create an atmosphere of solidarity and support for those affected by this global issue.

“The Leslie Rye Story” is a significant step in fostering a knowledgeable community committed to eradicating human trafficking. Mr. Tony U. Brown, the driving force behind this event, invites the community to join hands in this crucial cause. For those interested in supporting this initiative as a sponsor, volunteer, or participant, please contact Mr. Brown at 718.344.7378 or via email at tonyubrown@southernccinc.org.
