International Healing Project will have a benefit Oct. 10 to raise funding for and awareness about child trafficking in Cambodia and Vietnam.
The event begins at 6 p.m. that evening with cocktails at Stonehenge Gallery on East Fairview Avenue, and that will be followed at 8 p.m. by a showing of the film "Holly" at the Capri Theatre, which is next door to the gallery. Tickets are $25, $10 for students.
Presented in conjunction with Priority Films (NYC) and Transitions Cambodia, "Holly" stars Ron Livingston ("Sex and the City"), Chris Penn (in his last screen performance), Virginie Ledoyen ("The Beach") and Udo Kier ("Dogville," "Dancer in the Dark").
Livingston portrays an American dealer of stolen artifacts who has been "comfortably numb" for years in Cambodia. When he encounters Holly, a 12-year-old Vietnamese girl in the K11 red-light village, he learns that her impoverished family sold her. She was smuggled across the border to work as a prostitute, and her virginity makes her a lucrative prize.
Patrick, Livingston's character, embarks on a frantic search through both the beautiful and sordid faces of the country to bring Holly to safety.
All proceeds from the evening will benefit girls ages 12 to 18 who have been victimized by human traffickers in Cambodia and Vietnam. The money will also be used to provide art therapy programs at Transitions Cambodia, a transitional home for girls in Cambodia.
Stonehenge Gallery is at 1041 E. Fairview Ave., and the Capri is at 1045 E. Fairview Ave. Call 263-2630 for more.
