A perspective in to the dark world of trafficking
Spent a lot of time fast forwarding then going back. Not usually the kind of thing I'd watch so I wasn't sure what to expect. I only knew the general premise and that it would go into some dark depths but didn't think it would hit with such an almost unfiltered harshness.
