Modern Slavery

The video source that I used was mainly just an overview about the overall industry of human trafficking. There was no particular story line other than some facts about modern slavery across the globe. It starts out with four guys on their way to hook up with some girls in a hotel for a bachelor party but their fun hits a quick halt when they notice that a little girl is who is sitting on the edge of the bed. At that point the video takes a turn into some statistics of what human trafficking is like and how secretive it truly is. This video also addresses the issue of child soldiers being abducted and trafficked in Uganda to fight war at such a young age. Despite which type of slavery it may be at the moment, it's occurring all over the world.

For such a secretive and almost unacknowledged industry, modern slavery racks up the big bucks when "last year, the sex slave industry profited $32 billion. That is more than Starbucks, Google, and Nike combined..." Even though CNN may not always be the best literal source for factual information, there are bits and pieces of CNN interviews throughout this video that seem pretty accurate. I have prior research on sex slavery and the war in Uganda to where I can have confidence in believing the facts this video gives. I thought this video did a great job of raising awareness for modern slavery because it caught my attention and learn more about the issue. This video wasn't made for advertisement, but for awareness.
