SnoopyStyle An eastern European girl forced into prostitution commits suicide and NYPD Detective Kate Morozov (Mira Sorvino) investigates. She goes to see I.C.E. agent Bill Meehan (Donald Sutherland) and become an agent herself. In Prague, single mom Helena (Isabelle Blais) is lured by a handsome guy to Vienna and kidnapped. In Kiev, Nadia (Laurence Leboeuf) enters a modeling competition run by Sergei Karpovich (Robert Carlyle) which turns out to be a front for a sex trafficking ring. Her father Viktor (Rémy Girard) is tracking her relentlessly. In Manila, 12 year old American tourist Annie Gray is abducted for the sex trade joining other little children.This is a horrifying movie. It doesn't go easy on anything although it is a TV show with certain limits. The Manila story may be scattering the movie too much. I understand the need to expand and encompass as much of the problem as possible in this movie. It probably would make more dramatic sense to have the girl kidnapped by one of Karpovich's man in America. It would tie everything up much easier. Leboeuf and Blais are amazing as the victims. I don't really buy Sorvino as the hardened cop but she's good enough with Sutherland as her boss. This is a really disturbing movie that goes into some dark places.

simonbaush This movie basically attempts to make the American public think that this social problem comes from isolated, foreign criminal groups. Wrong! There are countless reports of such activities within high-ranking government officials and above. (Yes, above) Remember the Boys town cover-up? Such operations are rarely ever disrupted, because of the very fact that law enforcement agencies are themselves part of the umbrella. Perhaps children education is once again the only solution, trying to address the problem from the bottom up. This is obviously not an easy subject to discuss with children and i'm not sure how this could be done. But one thing is for sure, people shouldn't expect anything from high authorities, other than disinformation like such TV-series.

kimdeas-2 I seriously have never watched a movie which brought out every emotion. I felt angry, upset, sickened, scared, on the edge of my seat, I just had no idea how much this type of sick crime goes on in the world. The media needs to broadcast more of this instead of what dog the Obamas choose or how the Aussie prime minister went to the local florist today, I mean to think this really goes on in most of the world is so frightening. I looked at my 12 month old son sleeping while watching this movie & felt scared thinking there really are a lot of sick people out there & something as awful as this could happen to anyone's child. This movie is truly thought provoking in every sense of the word.

peterlonglongplong 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...
