Amazon.com:
The Lifetime cable channel made TV history with this ambitious, acclaimed original miniseries on the horrifying phenomenon of human trafficking, or sexual slavery. It follows the fictional cases of young women around the world, lured or abducted, sometimes right off the street, into a world of unspeakable brutality--which the filmmakers show in almost overwhelming detail at times. Mira Sorvino and Donald Sutherland star as American government officials bent on exposing and stopping the phenomenon, and both are more than serviceable in their roles. But the revelation is Robert Carlyle, the Scottish star of The Full Monty and Trainspotting, who here is transformed into a ruthless criminal mastermind behind his own trafficking network. Even his Eastern European accent is spot-on and blood-chilling. The supporting cast of women and girls is strong, and in some cases, truly heartbreaking. And while sometimes almost unbearably harsh, the film serves as a reminder this terrible situation still exists and thrives; and told through the characters, is also a well-paced thriller. --A.T. Hurley

Rating:  - Awesome movie... it will open your eyes to this horrible slavery taking place in the world today
This movie was really eye opening about the realities of the human slave trade which is a real evil that exists in today's world. It makes you feel compassion towards those who are caught up in this as slaves, and anger for the injustices of those who are motivated by greed to sell another human life which they have no right to do. I pray for these people caught in this evil industry to be set free.. for God to raise up men and women to stand up for righteousness, speaking out against these atrocities, ... Read More
Rating:  - Modern Slavery & How It Must Be Confronted
This is a deeply disturbing film, about the deeply disturbing subject of human trafficking.
As per the U.S. State Department's Trafficking in Persons Report 2007, "[Human trafficking] deprives people of their human rights and freedoms, it increases global health risks, and it fuels the growth of organized crime... [Each year,] approximately 800,000 people are trafficked across national borders, which does not include millions trafficked within their own countries. Approximately 80 percent of ... Read More
Rating: - Shockingly informative
At work we have annual training about human trafficking, but this movie is much more personalized and insightful about this world wide problem.
Rating: - Human Traff Reveiw
This video depicts the issue of Human Trafficking so well. The story of each girl is so real, this is what actually happens and it's how the human trafficking chain is formed. I think for a television series they exposed just enough to make you sick and make you want to do something. They didn't make it a feel good sunshine movie, they showed the hard core truth of human trafficking and the lives that it destroys. I give it five stars for the truth it produces!
Rating:  - Soap opera
The international traffic in human beings is a disgrace as is this movie. The script is atrocious, maudlin, and implausible. Robert Carlyle does a good job of playing the head of the crime organization, but Mira Sorvino as the ICE agent looks and acts like a beagle. If you are looking for a credible story/drama about human trafficking, look elsewhere.
