A Dance for Bethany on AllMovie

An idealistic investigate reporter who is determined to start a family risks everything she has in order to help a twelve-year-old victim of the sex trade in director Brian Gurley's affecting drama. Abbey Fisher is a top tier reporter whose marriage to a driven Civil Rights attorney has failed to yield a family. When Abbey decides to heed the advice of a fertility specialist and takes a leave of absence that will allow her to start the family she has always wanted, the discovery that a rapidly growing sex trade has claimed the innocence of countless children causes her to take pause and re-evaluate her reasoning for bringing another child into such a callous world. Now, with the assistance of a kindly dance instructor named Eric Vandevere, Abbey is about to put aside her own needs to help a hardened, twelve-year-old former sex slave learn what it means to overcome her fears, trust, and be loved in a world where exploitation truly knows no boundaries.
