Sex Traffic [2006]
ReviewsRealisitic drama of 21st century sex slavery Review date: 2007-06-21 Rating: 10 out of 10 Winner of sixteen awards (including eight BAFTAs) and sixteen nominations this TV mini series does not disappoint. The human drama is totally convincing amidst an almost documentary style as we follow sisters Elena (Anamaria Marinca) and Vera Visinescu (Maria Popistasu) betrayed by a supposed fiancée into a life of sex slavery in the Balkans. All aspects of the trafficking are dramatised, the corruption of the police and the private American security forces supplied by respected American security company CEO Tom Harlsburgh (Chris Potter). Far more shocking is the ruthless and callous treatment of the girls by the men buying selling and exploiting them. Depth is added with the investigation by Daniel Appleton (fine performance by John Simm) into the dismissal of Callum Tate (Luke Kirby) for allegedly buying girls for trafficking, and as Daniel pursues his investigation we delve deeper into big business involvement and indifference. A wincingly realisitic portrayal of human behaviour at its very worst. A definate must see.... Review date: 2007-03-15 Rating: 10 out of 10 I remember this when it was broadcast on channel 4 over several weeks, and it was as hard hitting then, as now. This is not by any means, your average 'feel good' movie, instead shows the journey of two women, who were exploited and trafficked into the sex trade by various people. A definate must see, this film ought to have 'based on a true story' all over it, for all the women who have taken that road from their own countries with little hope of ever going back. This is a near real account of what happend to two of them.......... This is true reality tv! Review date: 2007-02-19 Rating: 8 out of 10 Having seen this originally on Channel 4 TV and not normally being a person to buy these "TV DVDS" I remembered roughly the story behind this film.The 2 main players, the Moldovian sisters are conned into venturing abroad to find jobs and where the grass is apparently greener-isn't it always? Inevitably they do not reach their true destination and are sold by various people, abused by all and sundry and generally lead horrific lives - far from what they were promised.John Simm who fits his part perfectly as the reporter/nosey parker is lucky not to get killed having naievly got himself in various "situations". The acting really is superb, the tale frightening, and one that is undoubtedly and very sadly true of the total corruption involved in cross border policing. A good film.
