Trust is a 2010 American drama film directed by David Schwimmer and based on a screenplay by Andy Bellin and Robert Festinger, and an uncredited story by Schwimmer. It stars Clive Owen, Catherine Keener, Jason Clarke, Viola Davis and Liana Liberato.
The film is about a teenage girl who becomes a victim of sexual abuse when she befriends a man on the Internet.
Fourteen-year-old Annie Cameron lives in suburban Chicago. On her birthday, her parents give her a laptop. When she meets Charlie in an online chat room, she establishes an instant connection with him. At first, Charlie states that he is 16 years old. Over time, as the two bond by sending phone text messages and through instant messaging, he bumps his age up to 18, 20, then 25. Annie is taken aback at first, but comes to believe that the two of them are in love.
After two months of communicating electronically, Charlie invites Annie to meet him at the mall. While her parents are dropping off Annie's brother at college, Annie goes to the mall and awaits her first face-to-face meeting with Charlie. When he appears, she discovers that he is a man in his 30s. Annie is upset at first, but he charms her into going with him to a motel. Charlie then has her try on some lingerie which he bought for her and begins to touch her inappropriately. When she tells him no, he pushes her down onto the bed and rapes her, and even films the assault.

Plot: With Gutter Punks (Cinequest, 1998), Sims took a gritty and intimate look at street kids. In Becoming Vex, he again focuses his attention towards young people (this time twenty-somethings) and portrays perhaps a more misanthropic view of society and the effects of violence. Trust lives in the 'burbs. Back in the day, Trust and his two friends, Johnny One Eye and Lefty, spent their free time (which there was a lot of) raising hell and kicking ass. Several years later, Johnny's work for a local crime lord has landed him in jail, and Trust has begun to question the semi-normal life he has taken. After Trust is fired, a trigger fires in his head, and a new war begins, with Trust at the forefront. Together with Lefty and Johnny-recently paroled-Trust leads the fight against "The Signal," the source of ultimate evil. But is there a signal? Or is that just something in Trust's mind?

This year, we have seen movies take a shift into a new topic: The online realm. From Catfish to The Social Network, movies are talking about what everyone else on the planet is talking with: Facebook, Gchat, Twitter, iChat, et cetera. Trust touches on this theme once the high school freshman Annie Cameron (Liana Liberato) meets Charlie, a high school volleyball player from California, in a chat room. Charlie and Annie begin sharing photos, texts, tips on how Annie can make the team, et cetera. Annie, like so many young girls, begins quite an infatuation with Charlie. She then learns he lied about his age. He's really a 20-year-old. Then he lies again. He's really a 25-year-old. And guess what? He lied again. http://www.theparallaxreview.com/ciff_2010/trust.html

Trust in the lord with all your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
In all of your ways acknowledge him
And he will make you paths straight
Don't worry about tomorrow
He's got it under control
Just trust in the lord with all of your heart
And he will carry you through
Lord sometimes it gets so tough
To keep my eyes on you
When thinks are going rough
But when I turn my eyes up to the sky
And I hear your voice is says to me
So child do not be weary with the troubles
Of this world I have overcome
