This short film is based on true story. When just 11 years old, Elmira’s family forced her to marry. By her 15th birthday she had two children. Her husband was a drug addict who forced her into prostitution to fund his habit. “Being a woman in my world hurt so much” she said. Over the next 14 years Elmira became HIV positive and lived as a virtual slave. Even though she didn’t know what the future held, Elmira eventually found the courage to escape. Broken and depressed she discovered SAT-7 television. “I watched your programmes and learned that God loves me… despite all that I had done,” she said. Elmira led 10 relatives to Christ and they now watch SAT-7 and worship God together. She told SAT-7, “Thank you for all you do to share God’s love with people like me. Please pray that I will serve Him to the best of my ability.” http://sat7.org/answer-the-cry
