Horrible things happen to prostitutes. This is news to no one. This film is motivated by nothing more then putting people in the pews!!! If you are a fundamental Christian you will love the view points expressed here. I find it disgusting that they are using this abuse to move forward their own Christian agenda. Especially since it is primarily the Christians that have caused this problem.You want to help them. Legalize prostitution. Normalize sexual expression in art. Regulate. You will never stop this. But you can provide these men and women someone to reach out to when they are abused but the pimps or customers.Attract decent loving people to the industry by removing the stigma of adult entertainment.Please. If you watch this movie. Do not drink the KoilAid and lets really make a difference in their lives. And condemn the producers of this film for being part of the problem instead of the solution.

I live in Seattle, and I watch a lot of documentaries. This one happened to come up & watched it because it had good reviews. I had no idea this was happening in areas I am in all the time. I also had no idea that my cousin Joel Banks was in it - he's known me since I was a baby, and I used to play with his oldest daughter & son all the time growing up. It is heart breaking hearing that these girls don't think they have any value in life. The documentary is worth the watch. From a critical standpoint the documentary is done well, but not fantastically. The subject matter pulls you in though & the story is not boring to watch.

Jason Pamer and Eric Esau have done a superb job of capturing the dark essence of the sex- trade without assaulting the senses of the viewers. Their work reveals the insidious manipulation that continues to prey upon vulnerable children and youth. One cannot view this film without evaluating one's complacency, complicity, or perspective toward modern-day slavery. The sensitivity in which survivors were interviewed speaks to the changing perspective of society and law enforcement toward victims of human trafficking. Trafficking victims are seen as people in need of the Law's protective arm rather than the Law's indictment. One viewer responded, "I walked away wanting to express mercy toward the survivors and pray that justice would have its way with their abusers."

From the very beginning the film sucks you in with curiosity and intrigue. The unique window provided by the film makers masterfully expose the underground world of exploited teenagers in sex trafficking. The film easily flows between first person interviews from victims who used to be trapped and undercover gorilla style footage from sting operations those who are buying girls. It also features first person interviews from experts and local leaders in government who discuss the depth of the problem as it pertains to society.This is not an easy film to watch. It puts on display the grotesque desires of human nature and makes you empathize deeply with the victims you meet through the film. The content is heavy but it inspires a new hope for young girls who have been mired in a life run by pimps and sexual predators.
