Callum Tate is a private police contractor in Bosnia. He tries to buy Anya's freedom and loses his job. Before being sent home, he steals evidence of a wide spread trafficking ring. Boston-based Kernwell is the contracting company. Tom Harlsburgh is the CEO and his wife Madeleine is head of the company's charity fund fighting sex trafficking. Magnus Herzoff is the chairman and founder. Ernie Dwight is the company spokesman. Daniel Appleton from London is a refugee advocate tired of writing useless reports. He goes to Italy where Anya and other girls drown while being smuggled across the waters. Sisters Lena and Vara Visinescu from Moldova are tricked into sexual slavery.
The Visinescu sisters' journey is harrowing. This is a wide ranging interconnected story by director David Yates. The Kernwell part is less compelling because it feels less real. It's not big enough. The actors are solid but it can't escape its Canadian sensibility. I can understand the need to make this movie all encompassing but it would be more intense staying with the sisters. Overall, this is an admirable effort.
