Bad writing, acting and directing make this a do not watch for me

Warning: Spoilers
This is extremely low budget - the writing and acting do not deserve the high rating this has. It is so bad it distracts you from the serious and Real topic of human trafficking. In one scene the police FINALLY decide to act and go after this girl. They roll out in a DHS armored personnel vehicle. I think they used more agents to find this one girl than it took to take out Bin Laden. From what I understand this was derived from real events, however the terrible acting made it difficult to care for any of the characters. It felt like most of the scenes were done with the actors reading their lines from cue cards. I don't usually write reviews for movies, but had this been done better it actually might have been a very useful information tool to show young people.
