I wonder, this is turning out to be the biggest issue of all that stands on top of everything, and he doesnt touch it, so many films just do small scale stuff about this, but never connecting all the links and how it goes to governments, it's like pedophilia is too touchy for corporate studios to finance, too close to home, maybe even some independent financiers are not brave enough to risk their lives. It just shows you how safe and comfortable the cinema has become over the years, there was a time when films were made to truly upset and shock you with what they shown, pushing the limits of what is appropriate and acceptable.

The people who give him the money he needs to make movies would never allow him to expose them like that.

I find it weird that local and national narratives throw the word "human trafficking" around when a lot of the sex trade is driven by young people themselves using social media platforms. A human trafficker is basically a PIMP in the everyday vernacular and I see these scumbags everywhere I go especially around major Hotels, resorts, nightclubs or major tourist hubs when I travel. The girls they have under their wing are usually young with some obviously being minors (under legal age) but I never see police or any other local law enforcement detaining and questioning them because they happen to be around money-making enterprises that feed into the city tax collecting cougher's pockets.
