Human Trafficking (DVD)

What it's about: "Every day, young girls are bought and sold" - a TV movie about how after drugs and arms trafficking, humans are being sold for sex. A movie about slavery in today's world and how women ( and little boys alike) are objects, simple goods to be traded.

What I thought of it: I was curious about it because of some local actors that I like were playing in it. The casting was good with Mira Sorvino as the main agent, Donald Sutterland as her boss, Robert Carlyle was disgusting as the bad "merchant". The girls were also quite convincing. Good performances all around. It is a long movie (3 hours), but it makes you realise how sick we have become as a society. It's a very dark tale that (according to the movie) 800,000 people/per year go through. It is worth watching. ...and to think that it happens here...

AShley, as soon as I'm able to rent it (they only have 1 copy of it at our video store), I will post something about it for sure!
