Welcome to India

It's well known that Asia is a hotbed for human crimes such as human trafficking. Some areas are worse than others. In fact, some places are so rampant with these crimes it is seen being carried out in public streets and establishments. To catch a glimpse of how surreal it is, I have incorporated a clip from one of my favorite movies of all time, Slumdog Millionaire. I want to explain this clip, so if you haven't watched it, please do
now.

Video Breakdown:
This takes place in India, broad daylight, and at a busy train station. It also takes place in the PRESENT TIME.
The guy in the green shirt is Jamal's blood brother, the guy he has grown up on the streets with. Jamal is the one trying to get to Latika.
Latika is cut on the face for resisting her captors which is why she is holding her face in the last seconds of the video.

Other Comments:
Slumdog Millionaire is an extremely raw and uncut reality of the lives of Jamal, Latika, and Salim as they grow up in the slums of India and learn how to fend for themselves even though it's a fictional movie.

Without necessarily trying to evoke emotion from its audience, Slumdog Millionaire has raised awareness to the issue of trafficking among other issues such as large-scale massacres of villages, murder, prostitution, and child labor and violence. Although many children are bought from their families in hope of a better future, this isn't the case for the young trio. Their journey into slavery and trafficking begins after they lost their parents and must take care of themselves. Not knowing good from evil, they accept a man's offer to feed, clothe and take care of them. This is where the young children's story begins into a seedy, India underworld truly begins. You can trust no one in this cut-throat environment, and sadly, this statement holds true today, right now.

In order to completely understand the context of the movie and understand trafficking and how many crimes relate to this, I encourage you to watch it. Not only is it a great movie and a good topic for my blog, it has won numerous awards, has an amazing soundtrack, it is a love story, and has an interesting plot. Here's the trailer for an intrigued reader who may want to watch.
