Trade
All’s Not So Wells Cargo
Trailer & Mo
Being stuck in car traffic sucks balls, but being stuck in the world of human sex trafficking is purty much the worstest situation one could end up being in. Such a horrific fate falls upon many young girls and boys from around the globe each and everyday, and it’s a problem that’s not going away anytime soon, especially with the billions of dollars being generating from it. Trade is an effective fictional story (written by Motorcycle Diaries scribe Jose Rivera) about one of these girls, a 13-year-old from Mexico City, whose kidnapping sets the film’s plot in dizzying motion. When her older brother (newcomer Cesar Ramos) finds out, he’s off to the rescue, but how effective can one Mexican punk teenager be against an organization who’ll stop at nothing to sell their ‘product’? Luckily he crosses paths with a Texas cop (played by the always outstanding Kevin Kline), who’s on a mission of his own to bring down these sleazeoids. The two strike up an unlikely bond as they criss-cross America searching for truth and justice in these most un-American ways. Trade may not win a BAFTA, but it’s a heckuva lot mo interesting than anything that became of NAFTA
Sign from The Times: Trade was inspired by the NY Times Magazine cover story, The Girls Next Door, which shouldn’t be confused with those three NSFW naughties or these four hotties!
