This 90 minute Canadian documentary has interviews with those who underwent enforced prostitution. There are also accounts by police officers in different areas of Canada who made investigations into this insidious sex trade trafficking.
The victims and police officers explain how these young girls and women were lured and then forced into prostitution. There is even an interview with an ex-trafficker. For many of these young girls the only exit from this is death. They feel so forlorn and abandoned they see no hope. So the subject matter of this film is harrowing and sobering.
This film was put together by Joy Smith, a former Member of the Canadian Parliament. She was instrumental in putting together legislation that now treats prostitutes, both male and female, as victims who need to be rescued and helped. The crime is now on their owners (pimps) and their customers.
Sadly this film is marred by a Parliamentary aide who spoke glowingly of the years he worked alongside Joy Smith. Unfortunately his monologue went on for an unendurable amount of time towards the end of the film. It was needlessly distracting and took away from the message of the film. This portion should be removed.
