Hendey](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/lisa-m-hendey) [![priceless_officialposter](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Priceless_OfficialPoster-1.jpg?width=550&height=781&name=Priceless_OfficialPoster-1.jpg)](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Priceless_OfficialPoster-1.jpg) Opening this weekend in theaters nationwide is the new film PRICELESS, which provides an important look at the topic of human trafficking. Here's a sneak peek: https://youtu.be/zbKempXyz9I > *Inspired by true events, PRICELESS is the powerful drama/thriller about James Stevens who at one time was a good man with a great life -- but this has drastically changed. After the tragic death of his wife and losing custody of his little girl, James now finds himself at the darkest crossroad of his life. Angry, desperate, and unable to hold down a steady job, he agrees to drive a box truck on a one-time trip cross country for cash -- no questions asked. But when he discovers what he is delivering, he is faced with a life-changing choice. Can love, strength, and faith redefine his past and change the course of his future? This unlikely hero must risk it all, confront the forces that oppose him, and ultimately discover the life he was meant to live. * While I have not yet seen this film, I trust Catholic reviewers such as [Sr. Helena Burns](http://hellburns.blogspot.com/2016/10/movies-priceless.html#.WAEZbZMrLVo) and [Becky Roach at Catholic Link](http://catholic-link.org/2016/10/13/priceless-movie-review/) who are calling this film one to definitely see. Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material involving human trafficking, and some violence, the film stars Joel Smallbone (for KING & COUNTRY), Bianca Santos (THE DUFF), Amber Midthunder (“Longmire”) with Jim Parrack (SUICIDE SQUAD, “True Blood”) and David Koechner (ANCHORMAN, “The Goldbergs”). PRICELESS is the first film from the Smallbone Brothers. Ben Smallbone directs from the script by Chris Dowling and Tyler Poelle. The film was produced by Steve Barnett (300). David Smallbone and Luke Smallbone serve as executive producers, and Jacob “Cubbie” Fink is a co-producer. *Learn more at [PricelessTheMovie.com](http://pricelessthemovie.com/) or on [Facebook](https://facebook.com/pricelessthemovie) and find the film playing near you [here](http://pricelessthemovie.com/theaters).* ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2016%2F10%2F14%2Fpriceless-opens-theaters-nationwide-today%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2016%2F10%2F14%2Fpriceless-opens-theaters-nationwide-today%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2016%2F10%2F14%2Fpriceless-opens-theaters-nationwide-today%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=PRICELESS%20Opens%20in%20Theaters%20Nationwide%20Today) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2016%2F10%2F14%2Fpriceless-opens-theaters-nationwide-today%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2016%2F10%2F14%2Fpriceless-opens-theaters-nationwide-today%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Lisa M.
