Like a visit to hell 10 Stars - Excellent Film, 4 November 2005
10/10

This is a look into the pure evil of men (and even a few women) who deal in the horrible criminal underworld trade of human trafficking.

The film details the high price of human pain in both the emotional and physical suffering of these girls and young women forced to be sex slaves/prostitutes, as well as sometimes forced into the most disgusting and degrading of sexual activity imaginable for the purpose of selling hardcore porn films.

They are obtained by various methods: young girls are sold by their fathers in poverty-stricken countries, older girls/women are tricked by criminals who pretend to romance them, or lured by fake modeling agencies. Sometimes the girls are out and out kidnapped.

They then keep them in line through violence and threats of killing their families.

The thing that makes this even more horrible is that while this was a film, it is based on fact. This is actually happening, and it is a world-wide operation.

Legal authorities, at least in the states, I don't know about elsewhere, are trying to catch them, but it's very difficult to do, because the females are moved constantly from one brothel to another, from city to city, and even from country to country.

Even when these criminals are sometimes caught, the girls are frequently too intimidated and frightened to testify. These organizations have people located in a variety of countries--they know where these girls families live and can kill them at a moment's notice if a girl even dares talk to authorities.

The way they are transported is equally sub-human - in huge boxcar like containers, where they are imprisoned and placed like cargo on ships, in the back of trucks, inside cages, and long, arduous marches at night.

They have no protection against STDs, and if they become ill or simply raped until they are completely worn out and are of no further use, they are just killed and tossed out like so much garbage.

The capper to all this, however, the most evil part of all, is the fact if there weren't a market there wouldn't be the product. Men who visit these brothels where young girls & young women are,(mostly foreign women), and use them, raping them would be an accurate term, are just as guilty as the men who are selling them.

And the United States is THE largest market!
