Wrong place, wrong time - or was it a planned act?
Through the story of two carefree teenagers who are kidnapped on their way home from a night out and sold via the Dark Web, the film draws attention to the victims of human trafficking, a billion-dollar industry affecting millions worldwide each year.
Focusing on young people among the victims, the film aims to raise awareness among the younger generation about the harrowing reality of human trafficking.
The premiere of the film SLAVE TRADE took place at Kino-Arsenal in Berlin and was followed by a panel discussion. Participants included representatives from organizations such as UNICEF and the International Justice Mission (IJM), the director, and a witness to a recent human trafficking case. The discussion focused on international human trafficking and openly explored measures to combat this crime.
