the message is wrong coz...

Very small number? I don't think 700,000 annually [International Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children The American Journal of International Law Vol. 95 No. 2 (2001)] is so small.
And Amnesty International a profit seeking organisation? Now you are just being stupid.
I am not sure if you were actually watching the movie, or just chose to ignore its content in your post, but the film shows that the money earned is by no means "easy" and the women are slaves to their pimps, who are the people that are cashing in.

the women aren t earning money, the pimps are. and don t think that these women agree to be prostitutes. maybe some of them, but not many. this is what this movie is about: "sex traffic". the women are tricked to get out of the country, by telling them that they are leaving to be dancers, field workers, even babysitters. that s what they think when they leave home. but then their passports are taken, and they are sold, just after crossing the border. what you saw in this movie is true.
and trust me, i know, because there are many cases like this in my country, and you should understand that the only fault these girls have is being too naive. they usually are from the countryside, or they usually don t have families, and are easier to trick.

Well, the message IS wrong. Just not for your reasons!
How ever few or many cases of forced prostitution there are, are simply too much. And even if the girls are later not prepared to change their life, whatever does that say about them being abused like that in the first place???

The real problem I have with this movie is that it's way too romantic. I mean before being forced into prostitution, the girl has a difficult but nowhere horrible life. The only reason she gets into this position is the stupidity of her sister and her own urge to protect same sister. I just could not believe they actually dared to devise a happy ending for this film!?!? But here it is. Everything turns out the better, the girls get's to kiss a guy for affection -even love?-, the 'stupid and bad' sister does something right, the bad officers get prosecuted and even the filthy security organization is rehabilitated for the most part. YAK!

It seems to be you who has missed the point.
This film is exactly about those "minority" (which, by the way, they most certainly are not), who are kept locked away with no access to the world.

sarahllsjones ...YOU ARE A VERY SICK PERSON!!!!

No its not small its bigger than what we see.


"data "estimated 600,000 to 820,000 men, women, and children [are] trafficked across international borders each year, approximately 80 percent are women and girls and up to 50 percent are minors. The data also illustrate that the majority of transnational victims are trafficked into commercial sexual exploitation."[11] Due to the illegal nature of trafficking and differences in methodology, the exact extent is unknown."


It was one of the biggest second higest crime. and you're telling me it small wtf are you on crack?

Hi all,

Just to explain, I am a freelance writer. I write for various things, this does include non-fiction, fiction & real-life situations. I was paid to research human traffic around the world from USA to south Africa, eastern Europe to Asia and reported back after two years researching. I actually watched this film whilst in the US and have a few opinions referencing to real-life trafficking.

Firstly, whoever called Sarah sick is way off - she is not sick, far from. Unfortunately, I don't mean to offend Sarah, you are extremely naive. Whilst in Croatia, I met and spoke to a Young girl, she did not give me her name. She is a half English, half Icelandic girl who bought a lie from a Romanian pimp. He told her that she could come over to Croatia to work as an Artist as she had a passion for it. She had no official family, she was adopted. He paid for for ticket over to Croatia and when she got there, she was taken to a house in the middle of nowhere where she and another were raped and beaten by 5 men. They took her passport and threatened her life every time she resisted. She was 15, 16 maybe 17 now. The girl was nervous, scared and extremely jumpy and to look at her brought tears to my eyes. She was skinny, pale and done up to the eyeballs with make up. She, at the time i spoke with her, was taking up to 20 'clients'....A DAY! If you think I'm full of it, I'd say i don't blame you. Believe me when i say the sincerity of this situation is despicable and disgusting. The accommodation these girls stayed in was beyond disturbing, given only the bare essentials to survive.

Someone on this blog asked 'who would have sex with these girls knowing all they know'. Let me tell you from first hand experience, politicians, doctors, milkmen, directors, salesmen, policemen! And I'd have taken evidence of the terrifying fact of the local and national police-forces (including military) using the system to both profit and abuse of the girls. Although through fear of my own families life's i couldn't! All those who are supposed to be the ones who are supposed to be protecting and stopping this type of thing. I spoke to a (biggest air quote is the world) 'MAN' at a bar in the place where i met the above mentioned girl, he said and i quote 'It's much better to pay for a slave than it is a proper whore, so much more satisfying'. I was forced to humour him or it'd have given away my true reason for being there but what a thing to say! It made me think of the type of people that visit these places and what it says about them as a person. This world will NEVER get better with people like that in it. He was around 50, American (not that matters but hey) he was bold, arrogant and rude, not to mention having absolute no morals what-so-ever! The girl that lead him to a room looked around 19..need i say more.

Getting more back to the point, human trafficking is much more widespread than you think. Worse in Asian countries than say USA but still an epidemic plaguing human kind. The things these girls, children, women AND men go through are unbelievable. Beaten regularly to show who is boss. Most are used between 10-30 times a day, all unprotected and each time a fresh violation of there freedom. Every time they are used, a fresh chip of dignity and self confidence is edged away. This is something not really ex pained in Sex Traffic, it shows the brutal-ness of it but not the fact that the odd raping is infrequent, all day, every day is the fact. If they catch diseases, they are discarded, either through manipulation of another pimp (i.e sold of without the other pimp knowing) or simply murdered and thrown into the river/sea/buried. Don't believe me? What would you do with a sixteen year old girl with aids if you was an human trafficker? Risk your monthly million plus earnings? No, you'd kill them and dispose of them. If your sick enough to sell and buy people, rape beat and God knows what else, you'd be sick enough to kill and if your not - someone who works for you would be.

In regards to what someone said about the girls volunteering for this is beyond non-sense. After 2 years researching, I have heard that people do volunteer, but its the same promises and deception as a girl wanting to travel to become a waitress. These people are usually from very poor countries and want to make quick and easy money believing they can return home at any point, this is the deception. The pimps promise them that they will make alot of money and will not be treated badly and that they can choose there own clients. When they get there, there processions are seized, there families threatened for the guarantee of sex whenever the pimp says and whoever he says with. There is no freedom in human trafficking, otherwise it would be prostitution. I have been to many countries in and around Croatia and seen many disturbing things, most of which i wish i had not seen. When i returned home from Bosnia after my 2 years out in the field, i collapsed in my wife's arms and cried. How can this world be so messed up that a human being can treat another like that?

One last thing, there is a blog on this film headed 'any nudity in this film?'. Dude, its men like you that is causing the problem! Men like you that get a kick out of beaten and raping a young boy. Men that violate young women. Men that care more about there own desires than someone whose freedom is non existent. Who are beaten and raped regularly. Slavery is the biggest abomination humans have made.

Thanks for listening
