Caged No More

Appears to fail WP:NFILM as only BLOG style reviews found in a BEFORE.

PROD removed with "decline PROD, it got some notice. Add Today interview", but an interview with the actors does not make it notable.

 * Weak keep, it has the Deadline source, and this but it's paywalled. I think there are just enough sources talking about it. Oaktree b (talk) 21:28, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The article notes: "Inspired by real events, Caged No More is a thriller spotlighting what has been described as the “world’s fastest-growing crime.” The feature follows Aggie Prejean, a woman on a desperate search to find her two granddaughters, Skye and Elle, who have been kidnapped by their sinister father. ... The filmmakers raised financing for the project as well as resources for P&A with support from Icon Media Goup. The project shot in Baton Rouge, LA, in October and November 2014 before taking production to Athens in December and eventually New York City in February 2015. ... The film will open in 117 theaters this weekend, with showings concentrated where churches and other groups will mobilize their members to spread the word. Word Entertainment will handle foreign distribution and the title’s VOD and DVD release."  The article notes: "“Caged No More,” which shines a spotlight on human sexual trafficking, opened Jan. 22 in selected theaters, including Cinemark Perkins Rowe. ... Though it features characters with strong Christian beliefs, “Caged No More” has a less overt religious theme, telling the story of a young girl who is sold to traffickers to pay off drug debts. It is based on Molly Venzke’s novel, “Caged,” and Arnold and Venzke worked for 18 months to convert it into a screenplay. Along with Loreta Devine (“Grey’s Anatomy”) and Alan Powell (“The Song”), Sorbo also stars in “Caged No More,” which was filmed primarily in Baton Rouge and Athens, Greece. It includes appearances by Kathie Lee Gifford, Gretchen Carlson and former Gov. Bobby Jindal."  The article notes: "“Caged No More” opens Friday in theaters across the country. The movie, starring Kevin Sorbo, Loretta Devine and Cynthia Gibb, is the story of Aggie Prejean, a grandmother on a desperate search to find her two granddaughters, Skye and Elle, who have been kidnapped by their sinister father. He has taken them overseas to be sold into slavery to settle his drug debt. Aggie enlists the help of the girls’ uncle, a well-respected local philanthropist, and his son Wil, who is former Special Forces. They stop at nothing to see the girls safely returned home. ... “Caged No More” is the first movie in a trilogy. Molly is writing the next two books and screenplays. “The goal is to film the second and third parts in 2016, then release the films back-to-back in 2017 and 2018.”"  The article notes: "Filmed in Baton Rouge; New York City?/New Orleans?; and Athens, Greece, and released nationwide in theaters in January 2016, Caged No More is a drama starring Kevin Sorbo, Emmy-Award winner Loretta Devine, Alan Powell and Cassidy Gifford. Kathie Lee Gifford, Governor Bobby Jindal and Natalie Grant make cameos in the film, which centers on a godmother who discovers her two goddaughters were kidnapped by their father in order to be trafficked so he can settle a drug debt, and a global search for the girls ensues."</li> <li> The article notes: "Inspired by real life events, "Caged No More" is meant to spread awareness about trafficking victims by telling the story of Aggie Prejean, a godmother on a desperate search to find sisters Skye and Elle, who were kidnapped by their father (Kevin Sorbo). As the details behind the girls' disappearance begins to unravel, it's discovered their father has taken them overseas to be sold into slavery to settle a drug debt. Prejean enlists the help of the girls' uncle (also played by Sorbo), a well-respected local philanthropist, and his son, Wil (Alan Powell), who's a former special forces soldier, to find and rescue the girls."</li> <li> The article notes: ""Caged No More" is a drama meant to engage and educate audiences on the realities of human trafficking. The film releases January 22, 2016 nationwide. Inspired by real events."</li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Caged No More to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep as there is enough coverage in reliable sources identified above to pass WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:57, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
