In the film, a series of women lives unfold to reveal the brutality of the sex industry and graphically show how women are coerced and forced to participate as sex slaves to repay debts. Most of the movie takes place in either Mexico or Texas using women immigrants as prime targets for sex trafficking.
“Trade” illustrates many issues that will be presented at the conference, Modern Day Slavery in the Americas: A Regional Approach to a Global Epidemic jointly collaborated between the International Law Students Association (ILSA), SOLAS, the LAII, and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute and the Mexican Consulate of Albuquerque.
“Trade” features a star-studded cast – Kevin Kline, Kate
del Castillo – and director Marco Kreuzpaintner.
