Doing Money

We all hear stories about human sex trafficking - but it doesn't always feel real. This film brings the reality to home. And it's necessarily grim viewing. Ana is a happy Romanian immigrant working in a low wage job in London. She is kidnapped and taken to Ireland and had to pay off her 'purchase price' by 'doing money' - a eumpamism for having sex with willing paying customers. It's horrible - but it demonstrates that slavery is alive and well and man (or in this case woman) can go to extreme and inhuman lengths for personal profit. Doesn't make you feel good about the world, nor should it. But it needs to be watched.

The story îs from real live actually...there are many womens that had these experience but probably nobody could find them.

Ana is a young Romanian woman living in London when she is abducted by a couple and taken to Ireland to work as a prostitute. They move from city to city to stay ahead of the Irish vice squad.

Making the story even more disgusting is the fact that a woman runs the escort service along with two male Romanian pimps.

They inform Ana that they know where her mother lives and threaten her with harm unless she follows their orders.

She services dozens of customers in order to pay back her purchase price of thirty thousand euros.

The end credits claim that new anti-trafficking laws were passed as a result of Ana's testimony against her captors. Although well made with some lovely scenes of Ireland, Doing Money is yet another dark look at the human race.

My gosh what a horrible thing people go through. This movie is all too important and unfortunately a story that not one but 5 million girls and women can relate too. Sit your daughters, sisters and even sons down, when they are age ready and watch it. we cannot let this be an invisible problem anymore.

I've just watched this powerful dramatisation of a true case of modern day sex slavery in the UK and Ireland. Unfortunately it is not a rare event. It can occur under the noses of people living in apartments or homes who may not be aware of what is going on next door to them.

Anca Dumitra plays a young Romanian woman, Ana, who is kidnapped in London and forced into sex slavery with the threat that if she doesn't comply with her abductors her mother will be killed. With two other young women she is moved around to different locations.

This is a powerful story which should awaken a desire in people to know what is really happening in their neighbourhood. Anca plays the part with such conviction that we feel affected when her humanity is being slowly taken from her by vile cowards.
