"Human Trafficking," is a two-part mini-series that aired on Lifetime five years ago, that shared the story of three individuals who were victims of trafficking. One reason it stands out is that there is no double-dealing behind the camera. Sex in "Human Trafficking" is depicted as torture and rape, and prostitution as the growth industry of international organized crime. A quote taken from the movie describes just how wrong these girls were treated. "An ounce of cocaine, wholesale is $1,200, but you can only sell it once," an immigration and customs official, Bill Meehan (Donald Sutherland) says. "But a woman or a child are only $50 to $1,000, and you can sell them each day, every day, over and over and over again."The movie begins by tracing the fate of four young victims: a Czech single mother and waitress who is tricked by a pimp posing as a suitor; a 16-year-old schoolgirl from Ukraine who runs away from home to join what she thinks is a modeling agency; a 12-year-old girl from the Philippines who is sold by her impoverished peasant family; and a 12-year-old girl from New Jersey who is kidnapped while on a holiday trip to the Philippines with her parents.
The movie stars Mira Sorvino, Donald Sutherland, Robert Carlyle. To watch a preview of the movie click here : YouTube.
