I think the song relates perfectly to the video. brandon flowers (killers lead singer) has a deep emotional voice and the video is trying to convey deep emotions, it’s all about getting people’s attention to a problem by touching and moving them. it makes perfect sense can’t really see how you thought it did’nt. besides it is an amazing song by a great band (:

That’s pretty hectic! Really good video, but a real eye opener. Its leaves you feeling not only shocked, but pretty guilty as well. Well that’s my opinion, so please don’t have a go at me.

I 100% agree. I’ve said this for a long time. I wish others would realize this too. It would go a long way to help improve the health and conditions of those that aren’t forced into it as well. The sex trade is never going to go anywhere. It’s not called ‘the worlds oldest profession’ for no reason.

@EmanuelWazar – I don’t agree that legalization would make trafficking to disappear. Legalization of prostitution and trafficking have little to do with eachother. Prostitution, when a girl has chosen what she does, is one thing, and another thing is when girls of young age are lured with false promises (goodpaid jobs etc) into sex slavery and will be bought and sold like pieces of meat. The greates profit motivator for traffickers is the money they earn, because the victims are rightless slaves

Besides your bad grammar, it’s hard to make anything out of this rant, although I believe i get the gist of what you’re saying. But that last sentence is a bit of a stretch isn’t it? I’m relatively poor and I know I sure as hell don’t do ‘anything’ for money. It’s a bit discriminatory to say something like that even if you don’t realize it. Great video btw, gave me goosebumps.

very good, I believe the director was David Slade and he did such a good job. Talk about chills. Even though its a wide known topic ( human trafficking) we tend to forget about it , in our daily lives. Its good to be reminded, we need to all take a second and realize our lives aren’t the hardest to live. There is always someone else out there, and they have it harder. You have a choice to make about what direction you want. They dont.

Sex Trafficking will end the day it’s economic model is defeated. Legalization is the key. Wherever a state regulated, registered, certified, inspected and monitored legal sex business exist it is almost near to impossible for sex traffickers to operate.
The illegality of the sex industry is the single greatest boom and profit motivator for human traffickers.
It is a tragedy that for the sake of prudishness and judgmental hypocrisy states promote the black market sex trade indirectly.

have you ben living under a rock? prostitution is so widespread in this world now and millions of girls are experiencing such issues where they have to sell their bodies to men and get money for their own families. Just look around you, if you see poor people, then you should know that such issues exist because poor people will do anything to get money out of desperation. OPEN YOUR EYES.

Already loved the song, which is powerful by itself, but after watching this video, I was tingling all over. Very important issue.

The message in the video, paired with the song, send out a message too powerful to be ignored. It’s amazing.
