Sex Slaves
An undercover police unit and an international team of detectives join forces to uncover a well-established Thai-Uzbek sex trafficking ring. Their intention is to save thousands of women involuntarily kept as sex slaves.
These criminals earn millions of dollars a year selling women from Central Asia into Bangkok and Pattaya, Thailand. Steve Galster, a man who has risked his life for two decades fighting the most dangerous wildlife traffickers in the world, now uses those same hard earned skills to combat human trafficking in Thailand.
Sex tourism may be one of Thailand's most profitable industries, but for 'Operation Graceland' and the Thai government, this mission is do or die. Success will depend on whether or not the two are able to work together to bust the ring in order to supply the evidence necessary to win a case against the Thai and Uzbek traffickers.
Katia, her mother complaining?? She is sixty taking care of her five-year-old child...??? Boohoo you immoral person. Not worried about her daughter? Just herself, no wonder your daughter is in this mess!
Woman in all societies need to have the courage to risk their lives and fight back.
The interesting reality is that us human beings are evolving from. Patriarchal societies to Matriarchal. This change is part of a cycle
Such a sad story. These people are pigs!
If this happened to my wife I would be in jail. 5 Years probation? OK.. He would be dead and I would walk into the nearest police station. Here's what happened. This is what I did. Show me to my cell.
I wish I could jump through my computer and pull a Liam from the movie Taken. Once they stand before the Lord, and have to account for themselves, they will spend eternity in hell.
Yeah, the sex slavery is VERY bad. Really. I hate that thing just as almost 99% of people here, I think, hates it. I'm also depart of very strict and fast actions against this b**tards. But, wait a minute, waaaait a minute canadians. You see a flea flying over Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and make documentaries, protests, announcements of international punishments, collects or whatever to say that all inside that countries is bad? So, with that premise I can say maybe China? Belarus maybe? I can say Vietnam and Kazakh also? Brazil? Venezuela? Cuba? haha You'll enter to ALL of that "ex soviet" or "commies" or "anti US" countries only to say that ALL inside is bad? Yeah, THIS is bad, THIS is a trash that must be stopped, but... the gang bullys inside your nearby US? and the weapon traffic mafias inside the US-Mexican border? and the "wall of Shame" made by G.Bush? and the wars in Irak and Afghanistan? and the atomic bombs that your US dropped in Japan? that must be forgotten? only think, people, not only the "Eastern side" countries have violence and awful sick people. Yes, is truth, but in the US all the guys aren't angels. There are also laws there that authorize the use of weapons to housewives and kids of 8yo!! that's good? If you wanna be a MODEL society, you really MUST be a model society. And yes, you must, It's more you HAVE to cooperate with Russia and Eastern countries to stop this sh*t, and kick the asses of that b**tard people traffic mafias, but MEN, let the EASTERNS have the work! and don't try to be the world police ok? It's 2014.
good for knowledge
just the tip of the iceberg, in thailand a lot of women are being "trafficked" to other countries too
well we all now that 99.9% of demand comes from middle-eastern Arabic to be more specific "emirates Saudi-Arabians Qatar Kuwait and Bahrain" and the we know that the market follows "supply and demand" so the only way to stop this disaster is to stop demand , we know the source of the demand , what else do we need !! nothing but some acts ...
i am Jordanian and i can tell you ... those people "gulf-arabian" must be put in a zoo ......
90% BS. Kill them all and let alah do the sorting. Sure their will be a few dead by mistake, So what is the point.
The film was good. I feel pity for those women who have been into prostitution. I hope that the government of each country involved should take necessary actions to clear this matter ASAP. When will they learn their lesson by the way? When this happen to them also.
it's f*cking immoral that there's women behind these crimes! men, women, they should all be ashamed of themselves....
this **** is so dam heart breaking i just want set up a sting and catch all the pimps and trafficersand give them all electrical testical shock reatment.
Please people this needs to STOP please open your eyes and make others aware of this not alot of people know how serious human trafficking is.. PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES to find out ways you can contribute google "stop human trafficking" theres many ways you can contribute.. please help these innocent souls..
I think help should have been given to Tania's brother. I don't know many people who could of turned their backs on a sick child like the reporters did. Shame on them.
Very sad situation....:(
This is horrible - I'm so sad about this..
Very grim and unaccountable world
Amazing work by director and producer.
It's hard to believe that this can be a part of our "enlightened " world today. It tells me that mankind has not progressed one iota if this kind of trade exists. I can't even begin to imagine the horror that these girls have to endure - this was a very distressing documentary.
As a Turk,
I can say that this documentary somewhat tells the issue of woman trafficicking from the so-called post-Soviet transition countries to Turkey in a wrong way. Since the Communism abruptly faded away in the early 1990s, woman trafficking from the Eastern Europe into the southward undoubtedly became a social-economic phenomenon. Because Turkey and the Middle East were the only directions to where the post-Soviet residents could easily access without the visa obtackles. In this regard, those women were started to be deceived and sold easily in Turkey and some other Middle Eastern countries. However they were the Russian mafia men who sold these women. Of course market functions with the supply-demand principles and it would be some demand, too. Besides that, it was another reality that some women also from those countries voluntarily have choosen to come to Turkey, either to find a proper job or to become a prostitute in the Mediterrenean rivieras. But in this story, most women seem to be cheated by their Russian and/or Ukrainian tenants and sold to the trafickers in Turkey. Unfortunately all these women were sacrified to the fall of the Communist state appratus in which the omnipotent Soviet state has been providing all to its fellow citizens what they actually needed. Namely people in the post-Soviet space became joblessles, careless and vulnarable within one night. Needless to say, those women who were the most sacrified and suffered by men who either being Russian, Ukrainien or Turk or whoever nationality they come from. Namely men are same in everywhere and sexually exploit woman since the Antiquity. Last but not the least, one good thing I can say that the Turkish police eventually succeeded to control this woman trafficking in the recent years and the issue is losing its ground as a problem in Turkey...
Esref
Sad story. I feel ashamed for the injustioce in my country.
This is incredibly sad. The major reason for these women finding themselves involved in these conditions is poverty. We all need to donate atleast 20% of our accumulated wealth every year. It's so important.
We also need to focus on punishing the consumers instead of the businessmen. There are countless people like Appo, Maria, Vlad, and Ulga, and as you can see from the documentary, they have nothing to worry about, the police doesn't even take a serious action against them. However, those that do worry are the men that come to have sex with these women. These men should be sentenced to death. By ending the chain of consumers, there is no business. Thus no trafficking.
videos like this make me realize that my own rape at 11 and then subsequent sexual assault from my husband and his friends really wasn't that bad. i'm not making it up either for all the trolls out there and scream all you want, that i'm lying but i am serious and i have something to say.
What these women go through is horrible, what these pimps, or rather abusers, men and women alike, do to them is ABHORRENT. it has nothing to do with religion. Goddess, God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Krishna, Brahma, satan, Odin, nature spirits, Cthulhu, WHATEVER you believe in, it does not matter, AT ALL. What these women go through is WRONG. These men are killing these women souls with their abuse.
I have been pushed into sex acts i didn't want to do, sometimes through physical force, sometimes because i had given up hope, and I hated every second of it. it ripped my psyche apart, I am still trying to heal from the wounds. i am 26, when i was in my late teens early twenties my husband made me do things i will hopefully be able to get over with therapy. I was also raped at the age of 11 by a family friend. A lot of my close friends have been raped or sexually assaulted in some way, and this is in America.
The sexual abuse of women has to stop. All over the world. in every country. on every continent, every city town village, EVERYWHERE.
SEXUAL ABUSE MUST END.
Most depressing video I have ever seen. RIP little brother. Is there a fund that we can do for the young woman's family?
