The 2005 Lifetime film Human Trafficking highlights the horrific reality of human trafficking. It accurately depicts how traffickers coerce and exploit victims for commercial gain. The film tells the stories of five girls who are lured or sold into forced prostitution through false promises, kidnapping, or deception. Traffickers maintain control over victims through threats of violence against themselves or their families. While the examples are from a film, they realistically portray the common recruitment tactics used to ensnare trafficking victims into situations of modern slavery.
