How to end exploitation and trafficking.
Together we can break the chain.
Hello, I'm Angelia Jolie.
I'm here to introduce this film and to launch Exit,
an MTV campaign to end exploitation and trafficking.
This is the shocking world of human trafficking.
A world where teenage girls and young women
are forced into sex slavery by brutal criminals,
where those criminals make huge profits on their suffering.
Imagine having your freedom taken away.
You're torn from family and friends and imprisoned.
You are sexually abused and viciously beaten.
This is happening now, everywhere across the world,
even in your home town.
In the next half an hour we're going to meet the people who form the trafficking chain.
We'll see how the traffickers, pimps and ordinary people,
maybe the guy sitting next to you,
turn the dreams of young women into horrific nightmares.
First, meet Anna.
She was forced into sex slavery.
Anna was trafficked by men like Luan Plakici.
Before he was jailed for 23 years he preyed on women like Ludmilla.
Ludmilla, whose from Moldova, wants to move to Western Europe,
but if she's not careful,
she might end up being forced to have sex with guys like Giovanni.
Giovanni and men like him, fuel the demand for women like Ludmilla.
But men like Stefano, try to stop it.
I'm part of a team that rescues victims of trafficking and prosecutes traffickers.
Even the girls who are rescued need protection from their traffickers.
That protection is provided by women like Maria who runs a safe house.
These people and thousands more like them, make up the trafficking chain.
But the last link is you and me,
and if we take action, together we can break the chain.
This is the story of the trafficking chain.
The first link is Ludmilla.
Anna also wanted to go abroad
and was offered a job in Greece by a friend she trusted.
Anna never got to Greece.
Instead she was taken across the border to Serbia from her home in Romania.
She ended up in a house where women are sold into forced prostitution,
a human meat market.
It was the beginning of a two year nightmare for Anna.
Her traffickers sold her to a pimp,
who then initiated Anna into the brutal world of sex slavery.
Anna was forced to work as a sex slave in Serbia and Macedonia,
but it is in Western Europe where the traffickers make the most money.
It is where millions of young Eastern European women want to go for a better life.
Tatiana wanted to work in Western Europe too.
She left her home in Moldova,
and what she thought was a dream journey west, with her boyfriend.
For her safety we have concealed her identity.
Tatiana travelled to Amsterdam,
convinced she would be protected by her loving boyfriend.
Tatiana's boyfriend, who she had been with for six months,
had just sold her to a pimp.
Alina runs a hotline in Moldova for women seeking advice about working abroad.
According to her, traffickers are clever and experienced in tricking their victims.
Once Tatiana had make the big mistake of trusting her boyfriend,
there was no way out.
Tatiana spent six months as a sex slave in Amsterdam.
The same thing is happening right now to thousands of other women.
There is no corner of the world unaffected by the tragedy of trafficking.
Wherever you are, there are young women suffering like Tatiana.
But it is not only traffickers and pimps who are to blame.
It is also men who pay for sex, including young men,
some who might be watching this documentary.
