In this wildly celebrated two-part work, made originally for British TV, two Moldavian girls, attracted by life and work in London, are unwillingly drawn into the sex industry as they are illegally trafficking across Europe. They travel first to Serbia, then Bosnia, and finally Italy where, on route, Elena is separated from her sister when she is used as a decor and thrown over the side of the boat in the Adriatic Sea. Daniel Appleton, an investigator and researched with "Speak for Freedom" travels Eastern Europe to uncover the trafficking routes, and encounters the plight of the girls. (Verleiher-Text)

Sex Traffic tackles the emotionally charged topic of forced prostitution, which could potentially attract viewers with its erotic aspect if it were appropriately presented. However, the execution is despairingly television-like, i.e. prolonged and verbose. Trimming an hour off this two-part film would only benefit it. As it stands, it resembles German crime dramas and is quite uneventful. The acting is average, and while the Romanian actresses don't offer anything groundbreaking, they at least bring some fresh faces. The script is what really dulls the final effect. Overall impression: 40%.
