Lee Packer has been covering the Mormon beat for a long time. He's uncovered a lot about Tim Ballard and this Operation Underground Railroad (which Tim is no longer a part of). It's a long listen but if you want the "low down" on this whole thing, give this interview a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLJRePfcJtc
And if you watched the movie there was no asking for $ for OUR at the end. It's a movie trying to bring awareness of child trafficking to people who think it only happens elsewhere.
"The United States is a source and transit country, and is considered one of the top destination points for victims of child trafficking and exploitation. Cases of human trafficking have been reported in all 50 U.S. States, and anyone can be trafficked regardless of race, class, education, gender, age, or citizenship when forcefully coerced or enticed by false promises. Current estimates suggest that up to 100,000 U.S. citizen children are trafficked in the United States each year."

Did you expect Vice to have anything even marginally positive to say about Tim Ballard?
