Description of Human Trafficking:
The Lifetime cable channel made TV history with this ambitious, acclaimed original miniseries on the horrifying phenomenon of human trafficking, or sexual slavery. It follows the fictional cases of young women around the world, lured or abducted, sometimes right off the street, into a world of unspeakable brutality--which the filmmakers show in almost overwhelming detail at times. Mira Sorvino and Donald Sutherland star as American government officials bent on exposing and stopping the phenomenon, and both are more than serviceable in their roles. But the revelation is Robert Carlyle, the Scottish star of The Full Monty and Trainspotting, who here is transformed into a ruthless criminal mastermind behind his own trafficking network. Even his Eastern European accent is spot-on and blood-chilling. The supporting cast of women and girls is strong, and in some cases, truly heartbreaking. And while sometimes almost unbearably harsh, the film serves as a reminder this terrible situation still exists and thrives; and told through the characters, is also a well-paced thriller. --A.T.

Human Trafficking Reviews:
An important issue, a good movie 
2009-08-25 - This is a good introduction for the general public to the huge business of sex trafficking. Very powerful.
Eye Opener
2009-07-10 - This movie is an eye opener for anyone who dosen't know about this problem. Human trafficking is an ongoing and growing issue. This movie portrays how an organization can force people into servitude by their kidnapping of individuals and by then threatening no only them but their families also. This was a made for TV movie so it is a little long but well worth it.
Human Trafficking DVD Shipped to Alaska
2009-06-16 - My experience with Amazon.com was amazing. I wanted this movie and Blockbuster nor any other video store around here had it so I got online and ordered it and i paid less than $10 and was here within a week. GREAT service. I will be ordering more videos on Amazon.com and suggest you do the same!
Authentic portrayal of Trafficking in Persons
2009-04-08 - Human Trafficking provides an undiluted picture of trafficking in persons (TIP)and its global characteristics. Human Trafficking shows how victims are recruited through diception and coercion, how difficult it is for law enforcement to investigate TIP cases. There are few movies that everyone should see, Human Trafficking is one, both to raise global awareness of TIP and to better protect yourself and your family from becoming victims or from benefiting from TIP.
