Summary
Award winning director Ric Bienstock presents a unique hidden-camera look at this world of sexual slavery, talking with traffickers and their victims, and exposing the government indifference that allows the abuses to continue virtually unchecked. Sex Slaves also follows the remarkable journey of one Ukrainian man, determined to find his wife trafficked to Turkey, who carried her photograph in his pocket and posed as a trafficker himself to buy back her freedom.
