A Very Good Movie

A very good attempt to portray the treatment and conditions of people who are trafficked for their labour.

I am going to guess that actual conditions and treatment are much, much worse but that would probably make an unwatchable movie.

Every person who cares about the treatment of their fellow human beings, should see this movie.
