A Powerful Movie on the Topic of Human Trafficking.
Natasha (Natasha Rinis) is a pretty young Russian woman who has had her way paid to come to America to become a model and an actress. Unfortunately, when she arrives in Mexico, she discovers that she is just one of many girls from overseas who has been tricked into thinking a better life waits for her, and realizes that she is in the hands of ruthless pimps who plan to send her to New York where she is to become a stripper and prostitute.
On a two-day drive, she forms an unlikely bond with her Egyptian driver Sayed (Sayed Badreya), and their tumultuous relationship gives way to candid confessions and a respect for each other that turns the tables.
Thought provoking, emotional, and with a well written script, this movie never takes its main topic off the front burner. You come to care for both Natasha and Sayed, and you end up rooting for them both. I don't want to give the ending away, but it's not what you might expect. The subject of international...
It's okay
I didn't really get into this movie. This movie is basically a movie about human trafficking and how it works for this one girl from Russia and the driver that takes her from Mexico to New York. There's a lot of violence and bad language. If you're expecting to see rape or sex, there's none of that here. There's little sexual references and that's as far as it goes. The ending is a good endding because, well, it's a movie. So, it's not very realistic, and I do NOT recommend this movie.
Awesome!!
This was a gift for my husband. I had checked around all over the place for it and found it!!! Awesome movie. Didn't realize that it was based on a true story as well. Very good in detail too. The ending wasn't as I expected though.
