Description

A story about human trafficking that puts faces to the stories. We are given a glimpse into what really happens and the horrors associated with it. 
Original Review:
Human trafficking is a problem that is often overlooked. It isn't something that just happens in other countries, sometimes it happens right in front of us. The question then becomes: What can be done about it? When one young man decides to take a job to transport some cargo across the country for a large sum of money... He doesn't ask a lot of questions. After a close call, he ends up learning exactly what it is that he's hauling. After that, his life will never be the same. Upon arriving at the destination, the cargo is delivered and the money is exchanged but that is far from the end of the story. There is something that he just cannot let go of. As he begins to delve deeper into the mystery of it all he finds himself at a figurative fork in the road. One way he can return home and try to start over or he can stay and try to do the impossible. Whichever he chooses, he'll have to face a fight head-on either way. So which will he choose? This is an endearing story about a young man that has lost almost everything so he feels like he has nothing left to lose. That's a dangerous place to be, but pushing him to that point brought out something that he never even realized was within himself. The subject matter is controversial and the story is difficult at times but the message is one of the most powerful portrayed in a generation.
Transcription:
Hello everybody, and welcome back. It is, of course, me your favorite deputy of movie Deputy Podcasts, bringing to you the full interrogations of movies for their plot and content. If you caught yesterday's show, you know that we talked about the movie Sound of Freedom. As you could tell, I was more than a little bit emotional about it. The occasional chuckles that you hear were not laughter. It's my, it's one of my coping mechanisms. I just kind of let out those little horal things. It's definitely not laughter by any means. The, there's nothing funny about that movie. I actually had the opportunity to review an another movie about human trafficking back in 2016 called Priceless. Again, another movie that is very powerful for what it is, and the message portrayed definitely came across it. It was a little bit more of a story type movie. It was more of, there was a little bit of romance, a little bit of some other stuff mixed in with it.  But the horrors that it described were still just absolutely abhorrent and just how that stuff can occur in this day and age. It's just, it boggles my mind. Just the fact that this is still happening in the, it's actually an increasing problem as time goes on. And that's, there's no justification for it. There's no, there's no, it, it cannot be explained. It cannot be defended. These people are sick. They're, there's no other way to describe the people that do this. They're sick. This is another one of those ones. It's, it reaches into your heart, it grabs it, pulls it outta your chest, runs it through a paper shred, runs it through a, takes the pieces, runs it through a blender, and then gives 'em back to you. It, uh, the movie again is called Priceless, came out in 2016. I actually gave this a 6.75 on the deputy scale.  I don't know why I gave it such a kind of a mid-range score on that. I remember it was a very powerful movie. I honestly have not seen this movie since I had this screener of it back in 2016. I gave this movie a guilty rating on the deputy scale of that. So I was 13 and above just because the subject matter and kind of everything like that. But, uh, what I'm gonna do now is I'm actually gonna go ahead and reread my movie review to you that has been published on movie deputy.com. And like I've said before, and I just wanna refresh everybody's memory on that, is that I'm in the process of switching over all of the reviews from t
