carlesmiquel It's not that frequent to face a film that really can't let you sleep. I love horror films. Yesterday I watched Alex Aja's "Mirrors". He says that his most terrible scenes and the flick as a whole will stay with you forever and you won't be able to sleep. I slept like an angel. Today, I simply can't. I'm numbed. I'm scared. And I'm feeling terrible. Human Trafficking may be "just" a miniseries for Canadian TV. Well. This may be one of the best TV films I've ever seen. And you must try to endure it in its whole. It's difficult to watch and you may be outraged by what you'll see. It goes all the way through one of those issues "we simply ignore". A reality that may be much worse than what is depicted here. The "Modern Slavery". Be warned: it's brutal to the extreme. If you can't stand it, just scrub to the last five minutes. You'll learn the reason why this film was made and why it was made in Canada. Sometimes, the truth is the hardest to swallow. And I will say no more: watch it, please. You'll never regret it.

Angelus2 I bought this hoping a heroic gangster movie. I couldn't have been more wrong.Robert Carlyle plays a notorious Russian human traffickers whose network runs from America to East Asia. Mira Sorvino and Donald Sutherland play agents who are looking to bring Carlyle down from his untouchable position. There are other stories inter-wined, a thirteen year old American girl is kidnapped in the Phillapines and a father joins the human traffickers in order to rescue his daughter; this is beautifully written, directed and acted. The characters have their stories and pain to share. Carlyle is perfect as the crime boss and Sorvino brings some light into this dark world, while Doanld is superb as the ageing crime fighter. I've watched films were there are heroes depicted in the world of Human trafficking. But the truth is you can never be a hero when you sell someone for sexual gratification. Some scenes are very hard to watch, especially the rape of children; a hard hitting film which is not for the faint hearted.

ablefox5 Well-acted and exciting, but not a true picture of the sex trade in America. At one point, our intrepid heroine is desperately searching for the secret location of a brothel in Boston where young European girls are held against their will. However, hundreds of horny men with minimal investigative skills are somehow able to find this hidden torture chamber. A secret brothel is practically impossible. For example, you can locate European Delite escort service in Boston by Googling "Boston European escorts." This film purports to be a true-to-life expose, but its cartoonish depiction of human trafficking does not come to grips with how such horrible degradation and exploitation of women actually happens and it does happen. Brothels like the one depicted cannot exist without a level of police indifference or corruption that simply does not exist in America, imperfect as American law enforcement is. Americans and the American government are not without sin in the global sex trade, but we need another movie to tell that story.

honeygirlally This movie was more disturbing then anything I've ever watched...HOWEVER... the fact that it is a true story makes it a must see!! People need to see what is happening right under our noses! If this movie makes one girl more aware and saves her life, well...you get the point. I think all teenage girls should watch this. They all think they are untouchable and safe...at the mall, movies, sneaking out at night and walking on streets, and above all on the internet chatting...this would change their views for sure. I also think parents of girls should watch this. I am buying this movie and getting everyone I know to watch it. Hopefully it will help someone one day. Very graphic, yes!!! But it needs to be. It's fact. I can't imagine what these poor girls went through and it is sort of honoring them to bear it and watch it so their stories are used for awareness! Some parts are too graphic for those under 13 though.
