Children of the Dark, a controversial movie about child trafficking

Children of the Dark is a controversial film by director Junji Sakamoto that brings light to the problem of child trafficking and prostitution in Thailand. Too bad neither country is keen about the movie—some Japanese think it's biased against their own country, laying all the blame on the demand side, while the Thai pulled it from the lineup of films shown at this year's Bangkok International Film Festival in late September.

I think both countries should just show it. Human trafficking is a real issue, and just because you don't watch the movie doesn't mean it will disappear.

Love your blog.

Speaking of Child Trafficking, last weekend we saw an interesting film on human trafficking. Not a great film, but a worthy start for most to get acquainted with the necessity for action. http://www.callandresponse.com/
