I want to focus on the movie, Taken, today, because I think it's important for all Americans to watch. Human trafficking does not only happen to "foreigners" outside (or even inside) the U.S. ANYONE is prey to human trafficking.
Taken tells the story of two young American females who get kidnapped by Albanian traffickers and forced into prostitution during a trip to Paris. The movie is for sure an action-packed thriller. And although it has some unrealistic events in it, I believe the overall aim is to expose the crime, which it does so very successfully.
I would bet that most Americans who watch this movie don't believe that this is something that REALLY, truly happens. But, it does. If you don't see it happening, it's because you haven't looked for it. Forced, sexual slavery is a very real issue all over the world and anybody can be a victim of it.
