A powerful new faith-based drama is finding its audience on streaming after a limited theatrical run earlier this year. Still Hope, now available on Angel Network, follows sixteen-year-old Hope, a girl from a close-knit community who is lured into a false friendship and ultimately forced into sex trafficking. The film, released by Fathom Entertainment in partnership with Pixels of Hope Studios and Studio 523 is inspired by the true experiences of survivors who sought help through the Pure Hope Foundation.
What sets Still Hope apart from other trafficking narratives is its unflinching focus on what comes after rescue. The film's final act is devoted to Hope's slow, complicated return to herself, the fractured relationships, spiritual questions, and painful work of reclaiming an identity that was stripped away. Director Richie Johns described the film as a testament to resilience and faith, a story about how even the most broken of hearts can find peace.
One of the film's quiet anchors is Bob Geabhart, who plays the family's pastor, a steady, compassionate presence who walks alongside Hope's parents in the aftermath of her disappearance and, later, her return. Geabhart, who brings a pastoral warmth to the role that feels less like performance and more like genuine ministry, spoke with Olympia Now about what drew him to the project.
"This story needed to be told, and told honestly," Geabhart said. "As someone who has sat with families in their darkest moments, I recognized these people. The grief, the guilt, the desperate clinging to faith when everything feels lost - that's real. I hope audiences walk away understanding that healing isn't a moment. It's a journey, and no one should have to walk it alone."
The film premiered in theaters nationwide February 5–9, 2026 earning an 8.6 on IMDb and drawing praise from audiences who called it one of the most impactful films made on the subject. It is now streaming exclusively on Angel Network.
Human trafficking remains one of the most lucrative criminal enterprises in the world, generating tens of billions of dollars annually. Films like Still Hope serve as a reminder that the human cost behind those numbers has a face, and a name worth remembering.
