An estiÂmatÂed half milÂlion women are trafÂficked annuÂalÂly for the purÂpose of sexÂuÂal slavÂery. They are âexportÂedâ to over 50 counÂtries includÂing Britain, Italy, Japan, GerÂmany, Israel, Turkey, ChiÂna, KosoÂvo, CanaÂda and the UnitÂed States. MisÂunÂderÂstood and wideÂly tolÂerÂatÂed, sex trafÂfickÂing has become a mulÂti- bilÂlion dolÂlar underÂground indusÂtry. AccordÂing to the InterÂnaÂtionÂal HerÂald TriÂbune, human trafÂfickÂing is the fastest growÂing form of orgaÂnized crime in EastÂern Europe. KidÂnapped and/or lured by those who prey on their dreams, their poverÂty, and their naivetĂ©, EastÂern EuroÂpean women are trafÂficked to forÂeign lands â often with falÂsiÂfied visas â where they become modÂern day sex slaves. Upon arrival, they are sold to pimps, drugged, terÂrorÂized, caged in brothÂels and raped repeatÂedÂly. For these women and young girls, there is no life, no libÂerÂty and no chance for a hapÂpy and meanÂingÂful future.
The Real Sex TrafÂfic takes us to âground zeroâ of the sex trade â MoldoÂva and Ukraine â where trafÂfickÂers effortÂlessÂly find vulÂnerÂaÂble women desÂperÂate to go abroad and earn some monÂey. The film focusÂes on the remarkÂable stoÂry of Viorel, a UkrainÂian man on a misÂsion to find his pregÂnant, trafÂficked wife in Turkey. Our hidÂden camÂeras folÂlow Viorel as he travÂels to Turkey; his only lead the teleÂphone numÂber of the pimp who, he believes, has Katia in his posÂsesÂsion. To secure his wifeâs release, after days of desÂperÂate efforts, Viorel posÂes as a trafÂfickÂer and sets out to buy his wife back. We folÂlow Viorel to his meetÂing with Katiaâs capÂtor and from there into the world of trafÂficked women.
InterÂwoÂven with Viorelâs stoÂry, we meet othÂer vicÂtims, trafÂfickÂers and the famÂiÂlies that have been torn apart by the trade in human flesh. This film is the first film to have a conÂvictÂed trafÂfickÂer talk openÂly about how trafÂfickÂing works, and how women are coerced into sexÂuÂal slavÂery. With hidÂden camÂeras, we watch as trafÂfickÂers move peoÂple across borÂders with impuniÂty and expose how easy it is to purÂchase a modÂern day sex slave. Sex TrafÂfic also takes us to EngÂland and CanaÂda where we find vicÂtims who tell harÂrowÂing tales of being repeatÂedÂly sold from counÂtry to counÂtry. HidÂing her idenÂtiÂty to proÂtect her life, âNatashaâ shares her heart wrenchÂing stoÂry of being bought and sold from RomaÂnia to Italy and on to GerÂmany and BelÂgium. Her final stop was Britain where she was put to work in a north LonÂdon sauna. âNatashaâ was finalÂly freed from her nightÂmare in a police raid, a year after her abducÂtion. For her part, âEvaâ thought she was getÂting a job as a nanÂny in ToronÂto until her hanÂdlers took her from the airÂport to a strip club and forced her to work off her âdebtâ, i.e., her purÂchase price, before she could be set free. Sex TrafÂfic explores the globÂal trafÂfickÂing probÂlem through perÂsonÂal stoÂries and unfetÂtered access to trafÂfickÂers and the peoÂple they use as human chatÂtel. The docÂuÂmenÂtary capÂtures both the invesÂtigaÂtive stoÂry and the human stoÂry behind the headÂlines. From the vilÂlages of MoldoÂva and Ukraine, to underÂground brothÂels and disÂcotheÂques, we witÂness firstÂhand the bruÂtal world of white sex slavery.
