A Josh Mason Documentary Film

This documentary film depicts the situation a local 14 year old girl found herself in – locked in a dog cage during the day, and forced to have sex with dozens of men each night.
The case shook all levels of our community and turned law enforcement, business owners, individuals, and the faith community upside down.
