I agree – there was much violence, but with a remarkable lack of splatter and gore that many filmakers would have shown and remarkable lack of nudity according to todays standards – especially considering the topic.

A comment about the movie itself: Did you notice how the filmmaker was able to show you how bad trafficking was but at the end you did not feel as if you had to take a bath. The film could have been MUCH worse visually. I think this was a conscious effort so that more people could see it and get the message. Kudos to them!

I like this. Yes, human trafficking is a horrible thing and I think awareness should definitely be spread. The worst thing we can do as Georgians/Americans/Humans on this issue is pretend that it isn't happening. If we pretend it's not happening, that's when they are able to run rampant, but if awareness is raised, and people realize that these women are not doing this "on their own accord" many will seek ways to stop it, and I sincerely believe that if buyers truly knew that these women didn't want their lives to be like this, many would cease buying. And without a large market, the business dwindles, and less women will have their lives pulled from their hands…
