Purely Joyful Movie!
Highly Overrated But Still Good
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
View MoreMust see. Impactful, world changing and life changing. One of the best documentaries I've seen on human trafficking. Can't believe it's happening in our backyard. I've always thought "human trafficking" was "out there", it happens in other countries/cities and not here. I was shocked.The people really spent their time researching, documenting and risked their lives telling the stories of these women. Great props to the courage of these women coming forth and share their stories/struggles so to bring light into this ugliness in our city and world.We gotta do something. This is not right. If it's happening here in Seattle, I wonder what other areas have this, and how much we need to bring light into all of those areas.
View MoreNot that long ago, people said that if men and women are created equal, then how can we allow slavery. Here we are today with innocent victims walking our own streets being forced to sell their bodies for the profit of sadistic pimps. Unbelievable. These young film makers have exposed that this issue is not only happening in far off countries,it's happening right here! Awareness is so important but we also need action. Men and women of the United States of America need to say in unison that if men and women are created equal, then how can we allow these victims to be abused. Rape for Profit is a movie that creates Awareness and is a call to Action for all of us to step in the gap for those who desperately are crying out for help.
View MoreExposes the uncomfortable and horrible truth of sexual slavery and exploitation of children and teens in our own neighborhoods in America. Hard to watch. Expect tears. A call to action and inspirational in stories of survival and hope.Actual footage of prostitutes, pimps and the customers ("Johns") that make the enslavement of these girls possible. Most shocking are the histories of these girls who are kidnapped, drugged and raped into submissions, shattering the Hollywood myth of the "fallen women" who ply their trade by choice. The popular conception is a lie and exploitation of these girls is rape.
View MoreFrom the very beginning the film sucks you in with curiosity and intrigue. The unique window provided by the film makers masterfully expose the underground world of exploited teenagers in sex trafficking. The film easily flows between first person interviews from victims who used to be trapped and undercover gorilla style footage from sting operations those who are buying girls. It also features first person interviews from experts and local leaders in government who discuss the depth of the problem as it pertains to society.This is not an easy film to watch. It puts on display the grotesque desires of human nature and makes you empathize deeply with the victims you meet through the film. The content is heavy but it inspires a new hope for young girls who have been mired in a life run by pimps and sexual predators.
