When Elliot Costello and a group of other people visited Cambodia, he had an encounter with a young girl named Thea.
Little did Elliot know that this encounter would have an impact so profound on him that it would help start a movement whose goal is to end sexual abuse against children.
Namely, Thea always had nail polish on her tiny nails. One day, as she and Elliot chatted, she asked to paint one of his nails. He agreed and was happy to speak to the chatty girl, but he then learned that she was once a victim of sexual abuse.
“As she painted one of my nails, I assured her I would always keep it that way to remember her, and by extension, her suffering,” Elliot said.
This motivated Elliot to try and make positive change among men so that less and less children fall victims of sexual abuse.
That is when he came up with the movement called #PolishedMan where men put nail polish on one of their nails. That one nail represents the one in five children who will be victims of sexual violence.
Polished Man works towards ending sexual violence against children. According to the organization, “being a Polished Man means challenging violent behavior and language, both locally and globally.”
Elliot believes that since men are responsible for 96% of this type of violence against children globally, they should be catalyst for change if we are ever to see an end to the abuse of innocent children.
The goal with the painted nail isn’t just to remind people of the number of children who are abused every single day, but to serve as a conversation starter about this reality, leading to new ideas about prevention. He also hopes that people will start donating to “support educational programs and resources for child survivors of abuse,” as per APlus.
We hope that more men, including celebrities would be willing to join this movement.
Tackling Child Trafficking: Mel Gibson’s Powerful Film, “Sound of Freedom”
Child trafficking is one of the worst issues facing modern society, causing suffering to countless innocent lives. Mel Gibson’s most recent film, “Sound of Freedom,” with its powerful message and star-studded cast, sheds light on this depressing reality. To the surprise of many, however, this important film has been overlooked by major streaming providers, raising doubts about Hollywood’s true motivations.
Disclosing the Startling Reality
“Sound of Freedom” explores the topic of child exploitation in great detail. It is based on the true story of Tim Ballard and his organization, Operation Underground Railroad. It exposes the disturbing truth that the film industry’s glitz and extravagance mask. But Hollywood doesn’t seem to want to give it the recognition it deserves.
The Hollywood Elite Is Under Investigation
Prominent figures, such as Oprah Winfrey, have been the target of allegations regarding their associations with individuals such as Harvey Weinstein and John of God. The suspicion is stoked by these claims, which suggest that the elite of Hollywood may have been complicit in the cover-up of these heinous murders. It appears that their own interests come before the safety of children who are in danger.
Taking on the Unsavory Underbelly of Hollywood
The media’s scant attention to “Sound of Freedom” serves as a sobering reminder of Hollywood’s unwillingness to confront its own dark secrets. It raises the question of whom we can truly trust in Tinseltown, the city of dreams. But Mel Gibson isn’t going to say no.

Encouraging Action Scenes in Movies
