A chilling expose of Cambodia's human trafficking underworld. More than half a million Cambodians work abroad and a staggering third of these have been sold as slaves. Most are young women, held prisoner and forced to work in horrific conditions, sometimes as prostitutes in Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan. This film weaves the story of Aya, a young girl sold into slavery at age 16, with two powerful traffickers who use deception to funnel a stream of poor and illiterate people across the boarders.
