A new movie on human trafficking is raising awareness on the issue.

From the Washington Post:

“Call + Response,” a documentary that seeks to uncover contemporary human slavery in its many forms, opens with a sequence showing four men in a taxi heading to a bachelor party. They are almost giddy, anticipating what they will do and what will be done to them. The taxi swings through the streets of a nondescript Asian city with neon lights and billboards. As they near their destination, the men become even more excited.

But the viewer senses that something is extra wrong. The men walk up some steps and open a door.

And in the middle of a white bed sits a small girl, head lowered, black hair covering her face. Someone has placed her on the bed to service the men. They are appalled: “What kind of place is this?” one of them asks.
