This isn't how....(poss spoiler)

First of all, if this was a documentary you would have a valid point, but it's not. It's a fictional film losely based on a real issue. The scenarios presented are played up for dramatic effect. LIKE IN EVERY OTHER FICTIONAL FILM, DIPSHT!

No where in the movie does it say, based on a true story. Your comment only reveals how little you grasp the definition of the word FICTION and you should probably not be allowed to leave comments, seeing as you don't know the difference between a documentary and a fictional film.

Another thing, this film is supposed to be an entertaining thriller. It wasn't made for educational purposes, but rather entertainment purposes. It's not supposed to give justice to real life victims of human trafficking. That's what you fail to understand.

You don't know how to separate entertainment from educational /informative.

Oh, absolutely. The same was the case with the film "Taken". Upper class young American girls regularly get kidnapped into sex slavery in Eastern Europe - as if that would ever happen. Rubbish, just as you said. Real human trafficking looks nothing like this.

(My post was not meant sarcastic, it's serious.)

I found the premise similarly tasteless. I had a friend who worked for the Polaris Project (an anti-trafficking organization), and she specifically worked to aid women from Eastern Europe who were being bought into the US as sex slaves via ports in New Jersey.

I understand that the movie gets a jolt of shock from the audience by showing nice, middle-class white women being pulled into the seedy world of sex trafficking, but when the reality is so much in the opposite direction (women coming into the US, not out; women of poor means, not comfortably middle class; etc) it just feels like its promoting a false narrative that it's only evil forces outside of the US taking these helpless American women, as opposed to the reality of women being brought into the US to serve men in the US as forced prostitution.

The movie is fiction, but to invert reality to fit a xenophobic narrative (those evil foreigners and their insatiable lust for pure white women!) is incredibly disingenuous.
