    Very astonishing. It proves that human beings are the same as devil and nothing else. All human beings some how commit a crime in their nasty and dirty lives. It was very remarkable and difficult to digest the subject. It is my third days that I am completely emotionally mixed up. Who we are? Human or Animal!!???

    I was shocked. The film illustrates all there is about human trafficking, demonstrating the raw truth. I found all the cast superb, specially the victims and the bad guys. If you have teenagers show the the movie, it covers all the distanve between knowing what human trafficning is and trully understanding what it is and to what extend it threats youngs people freedom and life.

    This film depicts such a powerful message towards its audience, as well it takes us on an emotional roller coaster ride of anger, sadness, and everything in between. An awsome movie.

    Very well done movie. It's sick to know how much of this crap is still going on now days. These people are beyond evil. People think I am paranoide because I want to watch my kids like a hawk. All people that allow their llittle ones move from your sight for one second before you allow that to happen again, WATCH HUMAN TRAFFICING! You'll never take your eye off your kids again!

    This movie was like a train wreck. You know that you dont really want to look but you just keep doing it!! I couldn't stop watching it even though I really wanted to. By the end of part one I was a bawling mess.

    What an emotional show, I actually felt sick watching some of it. But bravo for the writer/cast/producer/director for taking a leap and telling the world about this topic. It helps to point out real problems in our world. What disgusts me about the show is that the people who are "customers" are educated people with family yet they don't hesitate to abuse women and children.

    I thought this was a very good two-part miniseries. It shows how human trafficking exists in here our world. People should be aware that human trafficking is a huge problem in the world. I've got to give Lifetime guts for showing about human trafficking because I'm not sure that any other television network would've shown it.

    It was a very graphic movie that portrayed the events that are currently happening in the world today. People don't believe these things could happen to them because they haven't actually experienced it personally. I was just shocked how scary the world can be and hope that a lot of people watched this series and learned from it.

    Human Trafficking is one of the most greatest television movies I've ever seen and it also shows the true evil side of slavery which is also very tragical to know why crimelords would buy and sell innocent people.I'll give it a spectacular 10!

    I am in the Navy, and they made us have mandantory training on trafficking, now I know why, what a great movie, hardcore as it was, it was a reality check. I have a little girl and I can say that you must watch your surroundings and keep your head on a swivel, because this is the real deal, the world is not a pretty place.

    I never knew what human trafficking really was until I saw the movie, I can't believe they use children for this kind of thing, it opened my eyes!! I would encourage as many people as possible to see this movie, especially young teenage girls, it's scarry but it's reality.

    This is an excellent movie about a sad sad truth. Opens our eyes that human trafficking doesn't just occur in third world nations, but in ours too. But either way, you wouldn't want to have this happen to anyone from anywhere.

    Truth be told, I haven't been able to stop thinking about the movie and women who may be facing these dangers now since I saw the show. It has made a huge impact in my life. I knew these realities existed but it really brings the trauma to life and to heart to see it depicted like that in a movie.

    I think a lot of critcs missed the whole point of this movie. i say any one walking away from this movie and not leaving ruffled has got to be unhuman. i thougt it was a great movie played with much heart. Never knew it was so close to our door steps. Sad and very disturbing makes me want to be an FBI .

    Tough, very difficult to watch, very well done, I have mixed emotions after seeing, I think it's really good but it is difficult to stay in front of your tv and not crying all the time. The lest known actresses are extraordinaire.

    The movie's tone teeters on the edge of self-righteousness, but the glassy-eyed numbness of the enslaved girls is a devastating portrayal of their living nightmare. [28 Oct 2005, p.77]

    Perhaps inevitably, with all that focus on the educational component, the story gets short shrift.
