"Behind the veil of the sex industry. One of the most powerful, compelling, and transformational documentaries ever made." Nefarious is an adjective meaning extremely wicked or villainous, iniquitous. "A peek beneath the glossy surface of sophisticated 21st-century society reveals a chilling revelation--the enslavement of more than 27 million people worldwide. Look deeper still and you uncover an industry that brutalizes and debases these individuals, many of them young girls, through sex slavery. Finally, you come face to face with the manifold atrocities surrounding the industry, from the deceptive recruitment and kidnapping of the victims to their working and living conditions and their physical, mental, and spiritual torment, oftentimes under the umbrella of government complicity and societal neglect. Travel through 19 countries, across four continents, into dingy Cambodian brothels, Thai karaoke bars, Amsterdam's infamous red-light district, Moldovan orphanages, legal Nevada brothels, and the street corners and alleyways of metropolises worldwide. You will catch more than a glimpse of the fastest-growing organized crime industry in the world with the groundbreaking, tell-all Nefarious: Merchants of Souls." "Gripping and Eye-Opening" --National Sex Trafficking Examiner Approx. 96 minutes.
