- Summary
- The very experienced documentary film Director Anja Dalhoff has spend several years producing “When the moon is Dark”. This is the first time a Danish documentary shows the increasing problem of trafficking of Nigerian women to Denmark. From Copenhagen (it could have been any city in Europe) to Lagos in Nigeria Joy and Anna they tell their horrifying stories, revealing the suffering endured by many victims of trafficking; forced into prostitution by violence, constantly threatened by unscrupulous criminal networks and systematically treated as criminals instead of victims by the social authorities. Joy is 23 years old and has been trafficked several times prior to landing at Copenhagen Airport. Her crime is that her papers were not in order; all she wants to do is to go home. Anna suffers every night in the dark streets of Copenhagen. She believed that she was going to Denmark as a student nurse but in stead was tricked and conned into prostitution which is directly opposed to her very religious beliefs.
