Hallo all, would suggest the excellent Soderbergh directed film 'Traffic'
{2000]. It includes a young woman, from a conservative family, who turns to
prostitution to pay for her drug habit, in a world she gets trapped into. It
has three interlinking stories about the drug trade set in: Mexico, San
Diego & Cincinnati. Find the film particularly fascinating as the 3
different scenarios are filmed in different well suited colour schemes eg.
Mexico, using tobacco filters, in brown/red & Cincinnnati, with a blueish
tinge. Haunting music also. It was influenced by the 1989 Channel 4 tv
series 'Traffik', focusing on Pakistani drug trade.
Also, 'Stolen' on the BBC last year featured child trafficking into the UK,
from the child's point of view. Best, Ange.
