Human Trafficking (2005)

This movie should be watched by teenagers nowadays for they are the most vulnerable to this kind of deception. I watched this TV movie over and over but it never ceased to touch me from my very core. Nobody deserves to be subjected to this kind of torture and life shattering situation. I voted 8 because this TV movie has social relevance. Whatever happens to these victims (in real life), I hope that they weather the storm and stand up where they have fallen.I cannot begin to imagine what the Filipino parent did, selling his child? What kind of person can do that? But it happens not only in the Philippines but other 3rd world country, I suppose.This TV movie is a must see.

HEY ALICEBOY FROM Sweden!!!! You slated this movie because of it;s acting and script.. I want to tell you that you're a waste of a human for being such an idiot!! THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT RAISING AWARENESS!!!!! AND YES - IT IS HAPPENING in Sweden too!!! So Get off your ignorant ass and do something instead of just slating something.This movie, much like Taken, gripped at the very Heart of me! That people can be so heartless and cold to take someone's dignity and life, is so evil and unthinkable. Who the HELL do they think they are??? THE WORLD MUST do something about this! God help the man I find trafficking kids and people because they will suffer beyond measure!Here's a message to human trafficking scum out there: Would you sell your own child or mother to be raped every day so you could get rich? CAN YOU REALLY LIVE WITH YOURSELF???????? SCUM! God is watching you, and YOU WILL DIE one day, and there will be NO MERCY for you unless you STOP your EVIL acts, and start paying YOUR Debt by rescuing and mending that which you have done!!!!!

I can't believe how Hollywood treats this very serious issue. There are victims all over this planet of sex slavery, but this movie shows one of the worst forms of it and does not even closely resemble the true ways that victims are handled. If women are beaten so ruthlessly by most of the traffickers in this world, dead traffickers would be a much more common fact. It would also include a lot of dead politicians, since, without some of them being required to turn their heads, many brothels would be closed down. The vice squads in cities know about most of the brothels that open up and move quickly to different locations. Why don't they close in on them? It wouldn't take much effort to get search warrants quickly on most locations once they know about it. Countless massage parlors have illegal aliens working in them who are doing tricks. Some are underage, but I think that's more propaganda than reality. If that were true, there should be public trials and we should bring back the guillotine. Traffickers are amongst the lowest forms of life on this planet and those convicted of it should get life sentences without the possibility of parole. There should be more factual documentaries on TV about sex trafficking and regular citizens should be given more information on how to identify and how to report on indicators of likely trafficking. This movie touches on something that anyone with an ounce of morality would be appalled by. If our Gov. can bail out banks with trillions of our tax payer dollars, why can't they crack down on traffickers a lot more? Makes me wonder about following the dollars and who might be involved in these crimes against humanity that happen daily. I think the fortune 500 and Washington have about as much morals as dry deserts have water. And, mass marketing television has only as much concern for the general condition of the Human Race as that which will provide entertainment at top commercial rate-card numbers. Hollywood has NO MORALS AT ALL! Money and glamor -- Hate the poor people! Distrust those who say they want less poverty, a better environment, a more accountable government! LOVE, BELIEVE IN, WORSHIP THE RICHEST OF THE RICH PEOPLE! Be willing to give all to and to die for the rich people! That's our entertainment world...

I commemorate the director for producing such a moving and eye opener of a movie! I applaud him for bringing public awareness on such an important issue that many around the world aren't aware and needs to be addressed. I strongly recommend that everyone see's this movie because it is more than a movie, it depicts the reality that human trafficking is indeed real and we need to bring this to everyone's attention to hopefully put a stop to the inhumanity that is Human Traffic. Mira Sorvena plays an amazing role, I cannot recall ever seeing her in any other movies but a brilliant performance throughout the movie. What can I say about Donald Sutherland, a master at his best and Robert Carlyle who I think plays a brilliant villain. I've actually seen Robert Carlyle play other villain rolls in other movies which he plays exceptionally well.An excellent movie, well done to all the cast and crew.
