Movie Info

For naïve audiences under the impression that sexual slavery is a thing of the past, director Christian Duguay's Golden Globe-nominated tale of the multi-billion-dollar modern slavery industry proves that even in the 21st century, human life can still be measured in dollars. Four girls from across the world, including a 12-year-old American tourist on vacation overseas, have been kidnapped and thrust into the terrifying world of international sex trade, and a specialized team of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are determined to bring down the global network that sponsors such heinous crimes. A former victim who has dedicated her life to protecting the innocent, ICE agent Kate Morozov (Mira Sorvino) braves the flesh-peddlers of Russia and endures the terror of an urban torture chamber located in the very heart of Queens in order to bring the ruthless kingpin behind these crimes to justice. When the world's most dedicated cop crosses swords with the man who drives one of the most expansive global conspiracies on the planet, the stage is set for an explosive confrontation of epic proportions.

Aside from being overlong by about an hour and dabbling far too often in a "preachifying" style of storytelling, Human Trafficking isn't half bad.

Audience Reviews for Human Trafficking

Aug 08, 2015

Terrifying, graphic, and heartbreaking series. I was absolutely horrified to learn that this still happens, especially on U.S. soil.

The shocking truth about <i>Human Trafficking</i>, and how it devastates the victim's lives and the lives of their families. I think this problem is a lot bigger than most people are aware. Human trafficking is all around us, and for some reason we don't hear about it as much as we should. There are some really sick people out there, that need to be removed from society. If these users stopped using the victims, the sellers and the buyers would eventually go out of business. At least it wouldn't be as lucrative a business. *NOTE* This was originally a 2 Part LifeTime Miniseries. There were two separate shows on my DVD. (so after the credits run once, there is a second half)

I recommend this movie to virtually everyone because this is the shocking truth; human trafficking and how it can devastate the victim's life, their family, but also society... society trying to cover things up. I liked the way they showed extensive scenes of violence which make us more aware of what is going on in this sneaky business. The scariest thing is that human trafficking is all around us but we never hear about it as much as we should...
