Sex Slaves� is a PBS documentary that exposes the global sex trade business in the former Soviet Bloc. Frontline takes viewers into the shadowy, multi-billion dollar world of sex trafficking. This investigation puts a human face on this inhumane contemporary issue. From the villages of Moldova and Ukraine, to underground brothels and discotheques in Turkey where many women are trafficked and forced into prostitution, we witness first-hand the brutal world of white sex slavery. This film discusses how five women from the struggling countries of Eastern Europe were tricked into sexual slavery, raped, beaten by traffickers and pimps, forced to work to turn a profit -- and finally escaped. Plus, a convicted Ukrainian sex trafficker talks about the multibillion dollar sex trade business, and why he sold an acquaintance for $1,000. The Frontline crew follows one woman’s husband as he travels to Turkey to find and rescue his wife.

This film is not only education but both emotional and gripping. It puts a human face on a problem which no one wants to discuss let alone confront.

Unlike many documentaries, this film folds out like a drama film as we follow the husband on his desperate hunt to find his wife. I can only imagine what it would be like for a man to search and find her a foreign country enslaved as a prostitute against. Even more significant is the suffering of the women sold as a modern day slaves.

Every country in the world has laws against slavery. This film is not only educational, but both emotional and gripping. It puts a human face on a problem, which no one wants to discuss let alone confront.

Every country in the world has laws against slavery, yet the problem is still widespread. Even worse is the fact that governments rarely try to stop sex slavery and the people responsible go unpunished. If we are going to force governments to stop this practice, the first step is to learn what is going on.
