Human trafficking

Review

Human trafficking is currently my number 1 must see movie. It has been a long time since I have seen a movie that has made me think about the world we live in as much as this movie did.

As the title suggests this movie is about the world wide industry of human trafficking. It demonstrates how easily women and children can be lured and trapped into this destructive and devastating situation.

The support actors are fantastic in their portrayal of prostitutes, brothel owners and family members. The lead actors are less convincing but that does not take away the impact this movie has on the viewer.

This movie is lengthy and should be watched only when you have time to regain your thoughts as its impact leaves you thinking for ages.

This movie is not for the faint hearted or those who like feel good movies.

Rating : 5/5
Code : Drama

Post movie discussion

I found it difficult to comprehend that 800000 people are trafficked every year world wide. Not only is it the prostitutes who are involved but also the consumers of this service and the people who are responsible for assisting and maintaining the trafficking. Therefore the numbers of people involved is enormous.
