ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Ayub Khan Am a student in Edison High school Located in Minneapolis Minnesota, USA am still learning this book and this book made me feel back in home. when i was in Somalia, People in Africa don't really know the value of girl in home, Like In Africa most girls are been married the age of 14 to 17. Just look is a girl of 16 years of age mentally and physically strong. The answer is no. But still many people are still doing. It is really bad to give a young girl and old man just because he have money. So i wanna beg all the people who are reading this article that a girl should be given as high respect and authority a man is been given.
sophouli This is a movie about a young girl living in Nepal and how her life changes completely when she is transferred in a brothel,across the borders,in India.From the first time that I saw the trailer of the film over a year ago I found the subject really interesting and I wanted to see it. I'm glad I was finally able to discover it. I liked it a lot, although there were some scenes,which for me,were hard to watch. The whole theme of the movie is sad and disturbing,so I don't know if everyone would like to see something like that.When the movie ended I had the impulse to search more about sex trafficking around the world. I was disappointed to find out that the situations presented in the movie were not exaggerated.
juliabolz As an international human rights lawyer and social justice activist for women and girls, I've seen a great deal of poverty and oppression. This film, however, poignantly manages to capture what few of us have ever seen, much less imagine -- child trafficking. While the overall story is one of tragedy, the outcome is one of hope. Namely, the "voice of the voiceless" emerges, and it is engaging, empowering, educating, and inspiring. I was transformed. Thank you for caring about these children and for sharing their powerful story with us, reminding us that we are all connected and what happens to "our sisters" on one side of the world affects us all. Because of its important message, the film is definitely a compelling tool for students, families and communities to learn more about human trafficking, the challenges girls face in the developing world, and ways we can each help these girls and make a difference.
taramarymurphy-10910 Sold is an excellent movie that discusses the issues of human trafficking in South Asia through following the story of one young girl. While at times it was hard to watch due to the nature of the scenes and the age of the actors, it opened my eyes to a reality that is happening to millions of people everyday.Shot in Nepal and India the beauty of the landscapes contrasts with the horrors of the storyline (however, there are some light hearted scenes to give the audience a break). This movie does more that just tell a story it is a vehicle for change as it sheds a light on one of the biggest human rights issues of our time : Human trafficking.
