The feature-length movie Finding Faith will soon be ready to go.

    The last bits of filming were completed this month.
    The movie is about a young teen who is kidnapped by a sexual predator she met on line. The project, sponsored by the Safe Surfin’ Foundation, is aimed at educating youth and parents about the dangers that lurk on the Web.

    Esmond Eugene Cocke, who lives north of Bedford, was living on a 400-acre farm where his father was a share-cropper, raising corn, cattle and pigs, when Uncle Sam sent him a written invitation to participate in World War II.

    It was 1943; Cocke was 18.
    “They gave me a choice when I went in,” he said. It would be a life-altering decision.
