Modern-day slavery is alive and well in the United States, as thousands of victims are trafficked across the country to satisfy America's $3-billion-a-year sex trafficking industry. Meet the pimps, the johns, the police, the parents and the victims of the thriving sex trade in Tricked, a comprehensive and daring documentary that uncovers one of America's darkest secrets.
"Heartbreaking." - The New York Times
"Truly hair-raising." - The Village Voice
"Tricked is a groundbreaking documentary that sheds light on the sex trafficking of Americans, a dark secret that has been kept under wraps for far too long. This film is the next step forward in raising public awareness and starting conversations around the need to end this form of modern day slavery." - Arianna Huffington, President & Editor-in-Chief, Huffington Post
"Impressive in its scope and detail." - Slant Magazine
"This film should be shown in stadiums across the country. Everyone should see it." - Anthony Favale, Inspector, Vice, New York Police Department
"Tricked is an important documentary that sheds light on one of the most terrifying realities in the U.S. today—the commercial sexual exploitation of young girls. This is a comprehensive portrait of all the players in this human rights abuse: survivors, traffickers, johns and cops. Everyone should see this film." - Rachel Lloyd, Founder & CEO, Girls Educational & Mentoring Services (GEMS)
"I'm asked daily about sex trafficking in the US. I can tell people what I know, but at the end of the day it will fall short because it only covers my perspective as a law officer. I think that is why Tricked is so impactful. While a single movie cannot summarize everything that encompasses this complex crime, I believe Tricked is the most comprehensive documentary on sex trafficking in United States. It provides the viewer with nearly every perspective including survivors, police, pimps, customers, psychologists, journalists, citizens and more. In addition to covering all angles, Tricked is just a really great film; engaging, educational, intense, gritty, emotional and haunting." - Sergeant Daniel J. Steele, FBI Rocky Mountain Innocence Lost Task Force/Denver Police Department
