Trading Women enters the worlds of brothel owners,
trafficked girls, voluntary sex workers, corrupt police and anxious
politicians. Filmed in Burma, China, Laos, and Thailand, this is the
first film to follow the trade in women in all its complexity and to
consider the impact of this 'far away' problem on the gobal community.
Narrated by Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie, the documentary
investigates the trade in minority girls and women from the hill tribes
of Burma, Laos and China, into the Thai sex industry.
