- Summary:
- The trafficking of women and children for prostitution is a global problem. The United Nations estimates that more than one million children are forced into sexual slavery each year. This powerful documentary follows Chris Payne, a former police officer turned private investigator, as he investigates this shocking crime. Haunted for a decade by the case of "Nikkie," a young Thai girl found working in a brothel in Sydney who was hastily deported, Payne wants to know what circumstances forced her into a brothel, and what became of her after she was returned to her own country. His search leads him back to Asia where he also meets the parents of another Thai "sex slave" whose death in an immigration detention center made headlines. This powerful documentary provides disturbing insight into the international sex trade. Study guide available.
