Movie Recommendation - "Human Trafficking" stars Mira Sorvino, Donald Sutherland

I just saw this fantastic movie on the Hallmark Channel (Starhub 17) that I want to recommend to everyone. Tho we don't think about this everyday, when we do stop and think about it, human trafficking is a most horrid crime that needs to be stopped, alongside drug trafficking. As a parent we constantly worry about the safety of our children, and this movie is a reminder for us that the dangers of predators and kidnappers are real. It makes u wonder how many of those 'Geylang girls' in Singapore's red light district are the victims of human trafficking since, I've been told, there are girls from Russia, Ukraine, etc, amongst the China 'Pei-Du' or study Mamas. Maybe even the China, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Indian ones are also victims of human trafficking. Geylang is definitely notorious, but I hope we can all spare a thought to this issue whenever we pass by there. This movie really moved me and almost brought me to tears.

Here's the synopsis of the movie from Amazon.com:

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.
