TRAFFICKED is the first documentary to unmask modern day slavery in Australia.Trafficked chronicles Former Australian Federal Police officer, Chris Payne’s ongoinginvestigation into the fate of the two young Thai girls trafficked to Australia: Nikki, 13, who was found in a Sydney brothel in 1995, and, Phuongtong Simpalee, a 27 year old woman who died in custody at the Villawood Detention centre in 2000. The documentary follows Payne as he investigates stories of women and children caught up in prostitu-tion’s ‘trade routes’ in Australia, Thailand andCambodia. Through these stories and Payne’s own experiences, Trafficked provides a disturbing insight into the international sex trade.
