Based on a New York Times Magazine story, this crime drama (Trade) starring Kevin Kline delves into a sordid world of international sex trafficking that leads from Mexico City to a New Jersey stash house. In a bid to save kidnapped 13-year-old Adriana (Paulina Gaitan) before she's sold into sexual slavery, her desperate brother (Cesar Ramos) teams with a Texas cop (Kline). Can they find her before she vanishes into a hellish underworld?

After viewing this film, I am now convinced that Natalee Holloway may have been sold into sex slavery especially after it was revealed that a sex trafficker was in Aruba the week she vanished.

Last year, Madeleine McCann's (3rd photo) parents were suspects in her disappearance but now authorities think she may have been the target of sex traffickers which is prevalent in Praia de Luz.

This film takes you into the inner workings of international sex trafficking.

Two of the most disturbing scenes in the movie: 1. The traffickers are in transit with abducted children and women in the back of a van when they decide to stop at a "pedophile rest stop" to make quick cash. They take a child outside, put her on display and a pedophile pays $80 dollars to take her into the nearby woods where numerous pedophiles are sexually assaulting children. 2. A eight-year old Thai boy is put up for auction on an encrypted password protected website and sold to a man in New Jersey for $25,000, before the boy was delivered to the man, he was shot up with meth. Keep in mind, this film is based on actual events.

One of the 13-year-old victims in this film was abducted in her neighborhood while riding her bike. The kidnappers side swapped her, she hit the pavement, they picked her up and threw her in the backseat of their car.

There have also been cases of women being abducted from cruise ships and followed home from bars.

The victims are always threatened with "harm will come to your family" if you try to escape.

This movie is very disturbing but should be recommended to parents traveling with their familes and single women traveling overseas. You can rent this film from netflix.
