Trafficked

Trafficked is a 2017 American thriller drama film directed by Will Wallace and starring Ashley Judd, Sean Patrick Flanery and Anne Archer. Plot In California, Sara is eighteen and has to leave her foster home; she is offered training to be a waitress working on cruise ships. She accepts, but instead is sold to sex traffickers by Diane. In India, young teen Amba is partying with her friends when a guy she'd rejected tries to hit on her again. He is thrown out. On her way back home, he throws acid on her and her friend. Her friend is facially disfigured and Amba's hand is scarred. Then he forces Amba to be sold into sex slavery. Sara and Amba both wind up together in a Texas brothel with Mali, from Nigeria, and are raped repeatedly. Mali tells them to do what they can to survive, and not to fight back. Amba, hopeless, listens, but Sara resists and is beaten and drugged. Amba gets pregnant and Simon (Sean Patrick Flanery), the owner of the brothel, finds out and makes her take pills to have an abortion. She loses a lot of blood and Mali pleads with Simon to call a doctor. He does, and Sara discreetly begs the doctor for some sleeping pills "for her friend." He relents. Sara plots with Amba and Mali to escape. She tells them that Simon is going away with the rest of his men for the night, and only Max, one of the guards, will be left. Sara says that they could catch a train nearby. Mali agrees, but Amba, still depressed over her abortion, says that she won't leave. She thinks her family would be too ashamed of her when they find out what she's been doing.
