Not Today (2013)

Caden Welles, a 20-year-old privileged by his father's wealth, is living a dream life that most young adults yearn for. A spontaneous journey whisks him and his friends away to the vibrant, chaotic streets of Hyderabad, India, a far cry from their American norm. This adventure, initially marked by a carefree spirit, spirals into a haunting nightmare when Caden's path crosses with Kiran, a desperate father, and his gravely ill daughter, Annika. Caden's initial refusal to lend a helping hand to the pair weighs heavily on his conscience, turning his dream into a remorse-filled nightmare. Haunted by the poignant images of Kiran and Annika, Caden embarks on a journey to make amends, only to uncover the heart-wrenching reality that Kiran has been forced to sell Annika, hoping she would find a better life. A grim revelation awaits Caden as his eyes open to the thriving, dark underworld of human trafficking, a reality far removed from the lives of most Americans. Coupled with the dehumanization of Kiran and millions of Dalits under the oppressive caste system in India, the situation seems overwhelming enough for Caden to turn away. Yet, fueled by his newfound purpose, the prayers of his mother and girlfriend back home, and an unexpected friendship forged in adversity, Caden chooses to plunge into the perilous mission to reunite Kiran and Annika. Starring Cody Longo, Walid Amini, Shari Rigby, and John Schneider, "Not Today" serves as more than just a gripping narrative. Produced by Friends Church Yorba Linda, a congregation committed to supporting the Dalits and ending human trafficking in India, the movie challenges viewers with a higher cause. "Not Today" is not just a tale of redemption, but a potent reminder that the power to change lies within us, if we dare to open our eyes and hearts ... today.

Not Today is a drama movie featuring Cody Longo and directed by Jon Van Dyke.
