I have a friend (that has kids since for some reason that seems to be relevant to wanting to stop human trafficking) that has worked with legit anti trafficking NGOs and this is what she has said about OUR:

Be very weary of OUR and any kidnapping/stranger stories out there. I spent a lot of time in my early 20s working in the world of NGOs and with the Attorney General. OUR is basically the laughing stock (but in a very scary and sad way) of the anti trafficking NGO community.

They unfortunately more often than not do more harm than good.
Basically a bunch of misguided, uneducated bros playing GI Joe, but with real peoples lives at stake.

Real trafficking happens much closer to home and with people much more familiar to children (think sports coaches, clergy, youth leaders, family friends, etc) and this BS movie is making it seem like literally kidnapping and moving across the borders is prevalent, when it’s very rare, is taking focus from the real issue and allowing more children to get hurt.
