I love documentaries. I admire Emma Thompson for taking up this issue of human trafficking with such commitment and passion. Definitely a film I hope I get the chance to see. I love documentaries.

To your comment about being shocked- Really? I must be incredibly jaded or I'm looking at the 1% wealthiest in the world knowing that they are mostly clueless about the fact that they are using up sooooooo much more than everyone else combined. By clueless, I don't mean too stupid to know or ignorant. I mean they just don't care. We aren't reaching them in a way that can change their minds and lifestyles. When so many have so little and work so hard, the abuse trickles down. It perpetuates crimes against humanity, like slavery. So many married women are slaves (not trafficked, not considered slavery) in many countries- they have no rights, their husbands have all rights over them, before that it's their fathers, or the church or the govt., they have no personal rights. Rape is not considered a crime in too many countries. Too many women do not get to choose who they are having sex with, and they aren't part of the slavery statistics. A wealthy, pampered actress who comes across as humble in comparison to her colleagues, is one very small pebble in an ocean of ignorance...I hope it makes a big ripple.
