Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
babes_teng 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.
dragosRO First of all, this problem is really serious, women (and not only) are trafficked by the thousands each year. It is a very sad fact of life and this should be paid attention more closely by everyone, especially men who .. consume this kind of services. However, this movie/TV series, whatever it is a piece of crap. It takes a very serious problem and instead of treating it right, providing a story with a beginning and an end and maybe a believable one, it's filled up with stupid TV cliché's: the dad who does not believe his daughter when she says she's been raped by her uncle (and actually blames her), the dad who leaves home after his daughter is kidnapped in a foreign country (and pressures the mum to forget about the lost child and save their marriage), the victims who are so afraid of their captors they do not testify even after the longest time they are in the custody of authorities. This is a LIE!!! Except for hillbillies, have you actually heard of such a dad, who would not believe his daughter over her uncle, who would forget about a child, or how do you think trafficking networks are caught these days? Out of these two hours , half was full of cheap paper-back clichés. The worst of them all was the mother letting the bad guy know about her daughter's phone call by yelling hollow threats over to him (something about killing him when she finds him, very americano, I admit), although this would most certainly bring her daughter a death-sentence?! I mean, how stupid of a writer do you have to be not to realize what a big hole this is? I gave this a 6 because the issue at the heart of this is very tragic and unfortunately real, and because Robert Carlyle is his usual self, that is very good.
pedroascunha I saw this work and it is as moving story, hard to be told and specially to be lived by any person or related... The actress that performe Samantha Gray is well worked by actor director but in some details make remember Nat Portman in here first movie Leon, it is a good start for Labrosse. The other performe that must be referred is Nadia Tagarov by Leboeuf, deep. The story is very powerful and the Writers make the work well because they show the horror, and Director make it just, no much hide. Other powerful stories must be told... maybe one day a special one can be seen in the screen as a feature and performed by good actors and well directed!
ablefox5 Well-acted and exciting, but not a true picture of the sex trade in America. At one point, our intrepid heroine is desperately searching for the secret location of a brothel in Boston where young European girls are held against their will. However, hundreds of horny men with minimal investigative skills are somehow able to find this hidden torture chamber. A secret brothel is practically impossible. For example, you can locate European Delite escort service in Boston by Googling "Boston European escorts." This film purports to be a true-to-life expose, but its cartoonish depiction of human trafficking does not come to grips with how such horrible degradation and exploitation of women actually happens and it does happen. Brothels like the one depicted cannot exist without a level of police indifference or corruption that simply does not exist in America, imperfect as American law enforcement is. Americans and the American government are not without sin in the global sex trade, but we need another movie to tell that story.
