Obviously this was an extremely traumatic event in Frida's life. I know she says she's not a victim but a survivor, which she definitely is. However, it would be ñhard for me to believe that she doesn't have PTSD and anxiety at the very least, especially since none of the perpetrators were ever caught. I just find it extremely odd that she would want to play herself in the movie. I can't imagine putting myself back into demoralizing and exploitive scenes. She must have had one hell of a support team. I know I wouldn't have been able to reenact my own rape, especially in such a brutal way. Nevertheless, I'm glad she's still here to tell her harrowing story m.
Low budget tree stories. The bad scenes are Graphically held back whilst you still get the picture.
On this Topic I'm always so sensitive. Very disturbing matter. I remember first seeing SEX TRAFFIC over 2 decades ago , that's where the subject matter I was first made aware of & utterly shocked & disturbed. Then the Seasoning House based on sex trade in Balkans war did a fictional heartbreaking story but with a justified ending.
These tales are so heartbreaking. & it makes you question wtf our governments worldwide are really upto when 10s of millions of people are stolen & trafficked yearly, but decent citizens can't avoid parking tickets or anything. I noticed at the end of this story ( which was well acted by the leading lady, who carried the film by herself) it said details of website were traced back to Eastern Europe. Always the same. Why does my country allow them to flood in. The UK alone is flooded with Albanian dealers, is this what they want for our citizens. Very scary world. Speaks volumes when the problems getting worse & not better. I'm Glad this woman escaped & my prayers to the ones that didn't.
Hell can only await such evil people. Literally the worst criminals.

I can say that, you can hate me for this, but this is one of those films (Alongside Requiem for a Dream) that they should play at least teens in school. This is a very important message, do not TRUST STRANGERS.
Our main villain who reminds me of Ted Bundy, is a manipulative monster, that who knows how many ladies had gotten this way. Crazy how realistic this movie really is. This is how it works; They seem polite, normal, humane, and then they turn into the worst monster you can think of on the planet earth. Also this movie reminds me a lot, a lot of A Serbian film, just this movie seems more mature with the subject matter.
I can tell you that for the most part i was not bored during the movie, infact i was just thinking for the most part why? And then it's all tied up in a bow, our villain is actually someone elses puppet, which is why he does what he does. There's always someone on top of that someone.
I can safely put this movie in the same boat as Sweet Whip and Thriller A Cruel Picture, a pretty good movie.

I did not expect this movie to be so graphic but realizing the woman playing the part was the victim sends the message loud and clear. This movie needs to be shown to teens and women to show how this can happen to anyone, and that does include boys and men. People are trafficked every day and more films and meetings need to be at schools and communities concerning this especially at this day and time. I will recommend this film to others. I was horrified but I commend her for doing this film and having to relive that experience. She truly is a survivor. Hope she is living her best life, she truly deserves that.
I was a little reluctant to watch this film. From the premise, it seemed I might be subjected to a dispiriting and overly grim tale. It is a tough view, but I was very glad I saw it. The story, based on true events, of a young woman who is kidnapped and forced to be a sex slave is beautifully told, impressively performed and totally engrossing. Now get this: Isobel, played by actor Frida Farrell was the actual real-life victim of the events this film is based on. And she is sensationally good. There's also a terrific performance from Gabriel Olds – this is virtually a two-hander. It reminded me of the film Room which has a similar theme, but I found this to be better and more involving in that I got completely lost in it in that rare way that makes for a special viewing experience. (The person sitting next to me in the cinema had a beer. It wasn't until the end of the film that he realised he hadn't taken even a sip!) The film is low budget and made in a very short time. Don't worry about that – this is high octane, pure cinema. I loved it.
