Too painful to watch

The 9 rating made me start watching this, and as the other reviewers mentioned the start is captivating with a great score and beautiful images of Cambodia.

To me human trafficking is the number 1 problem of the world, my mind can't even grasp that this is still going on for young girls and even children aged as young as 4. I started crying very early in the film, but I wanted to stick with it in case I get motivated to maybe do something to help eventually. That would have been the only reason, cause otherwise watching the movie "Lilja 4 ever" a couple of years ago by accident was more than enough information about the subject for me. I stopped watching after half an hour.

In short, I'm sure this has been rightly rated 9 by people who made it to the end, but please be warned that it might be too much for some viewers, albeit the rating. I wish I could watch the whole thing to make this review more accurate.

Yes it was very painful to watch, but not painful enough. This documentary just focuses on few persons and how this Stephanie Freed's organization is doing a good job. Ok, maybe so, but they don't speak anything about the root cause of this human trafficking problem. Root cause being money and politics. Something that american people have been stirring a long time in Cambodia. Americans have done something to this country that few soccer moms with the help of god cannot fix. This documentary just looks too much like a ad for this certain organization to make more money. I don't know if that is good or bad thing, you decide.
