Hollywood Takes on Sex Trafficking
Lionsgate Films has announced today that they plan to distribute Jose Rivera's (The Motorcycle Diaries) adaption of Peter Landesman's New York Times Magazine article about the sex trafficking business, a film called Trade (formerly called "Welcome to America") starring Kevin Kline.
The storyline revolves around a 13-year-old girl and Polish woman who are sold into the sex slave business in the U.S. A Texas cop teams up with the girl's brother to look for her and, in the process, discovers that his own daughter has been kidnapped.
PETER LANDESMAN'S ORIGINAL ARTICLE IN THE NYT MAGAZINE
Landesman's NYT Magazine article "The Girls Next Door" published in January of 2004 received much criticism from Slate magazine and others questioning its accuracy. This spawned a number of columns in both Slate and the New York Times. You can read the exchanges here at Slate.com.
