我是简

这部电影是都很混乱。据称是儿童色情贩卖,但其真正的主题似乎是一个竞选网站的所有者和管理者,backpage.com,依法负责运行儿童色情广告。我们首先会议一个女孩的母亲离家出走,成为儿童色情贩卖的受害者,然后另一个,另一个,削减之间来回受害者和他们承担的法律战。网站及其管理迅速认定为敌人,和代理让他们失望。作为他们追求一个又一个法律论坛的阻挠,我们厌恶地邀请摇头。他们怎么能如此盲目?如果这是他们的女儿吗?我们听到从受害者家属,受害者,他们的法律顾问和由法院和对方allies-statements陷害嘲笑的表情(不是反驳)的好人。但是有很多问题。,Backpage可能只是虚假的描述(未证实的起诉文件请注意,该网站已经非常适应执法请求,“例如)。一个场景Backpage的黄铜带第五在参议院听证会上作为高潮,忽略了(明显)的事实,他们有义务这样做,因为持续的情况下在加州。 A voiceover (apparently a US senator) conflates “cross-border human trafficking” with the situation of the children in the film. (“Cross-border human trafficking” is overwhelmingly for cheap labour, according to the statistics.) One of the victims tells us about how much more about sex she knows than her peers, although her only experience of “sex” is being repeatedly raped by strangers. (Rape isn’t sex, right? It’s heartbreaking she doesn’t know that, but the film seems to take her at face value.) The victims’ stories are told as if they were snatched off the street, which creates a false picture of how child prostitution works (according to Covenant House). And of course the closing chorus of “I am Jane Doe” by so many children’s voices makes it sound like we’re in the midst of an epidemic. I could go on. OK, I’m not an expert: I spent a few hours researching this online, and the filmmakers, well, they made a movie. We all agree that child sex trafficking is evil, and all power to those who fight it. But I’m not convinced that this film is helpful, or even that it wants to be. Backpage was shut down shortly after the film was made, and it seems it’s not clear what effect that had on child sex trafficking. If the demise of Backpage helped, then this film deserves, well, maybe, one more star.
