| Summary |
"Deserted by her husband and with four children to support, 24 year-old Sushma from a remote village in Nepal, was sold for sexual slavery. Her trafficker took her to Kolkata, but she managed to escape. In this film we document how difficult it is for Nepal to staunch the flow of an estimated 12,000 young women being trafficked across an open 2,400 km long border with India every year... and meet some of the women on the frontline trying to put a stop to the trade. We follow Sushma as she sets out to find the man who lured her to a brothel in Kolkata ..." -- BBCWorld website |
