![]() ![]() That sin on the part of filmmakers is inexcusable enough. However, glossing over the drug overdose-which was caused (I think but don’t know because of faulty editing) by Jack’s abduction of the two girls-leaves us caring less for the victims. It does, however, paint a picture, one that agrees reasonably well with established news sources, of the horrors of girls who are sold into sex slavery and the courageous and often dangerous attempts by people in the US and in Greece to set them free. Using stilted and obviously unrehearsed and unpolished dialog between characters and “The Lord didn’t bring me this far to send me home empty-handed” pronouncements throughout, the film sheds no light on the epidemic of human trafficking.

Those crimes involve selling his daughters into slavery in Greece to pay his drug debts. Another incident involving a possible drug overdose follows immediately, resulting in the wife’s death and what is an implausible conversation between two police officers who never fully investigate the death.
