Synopsis
Award-winning photojournalist Mimi Chakarova delves into the world of international sex trafficking in this startling exposé, exposing the cruel conditions that have forced thousands of women into a life defined by fear, shame and violence. With brutal honesty and courageous perseverance, these young women relate how they were bought, sold, and taken far from home to toil in brothels across Eastern and Western Europe and the Middle East. The culmination of an eight-year investigative journalism project that took Chakarova through Moldova, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece and Dubai, The Price of Sex boldly brings this ever more pressing issue into stark relief, and was rightly awarded Human Rights Watch International’s 2011 Nestor Almendros Award for Courage in Filmmaking.
