The Jammed

What a shockingly stunning film! It's still going around and around in my head and it's a struggle to know what to write.

This film does a great job exploring and uncovering the dark depths of a scarcely known subject admist the background of fast-paced metro Melbourne. As the film progresses, you become entranced by the characters' struggle and desperate attempt to escape a bleak situation from all sides, the illegal sex-trade slaves; the mother looking for her lost child in a foreign country and the insurance worker who somehow found herself reluctantly assisting her.

This movie, is about the ongoing sex slave trade that is happening in Australia at the moment. It leaves no door barred, and shows the true horror of what happens to these girls once on Australian soil.

Wow! This is a thriller in every sense of the word.

Low budget movie, yes it is, almost nonexistent in the couple of years that followed it's making. Sex slave films are a dime a dozen these days.

I didn't have much desire to see this. An Aussie-made movie about a sleazy subject?

A stripped back film with no thrills, but story driven. A reality check on human trading and those who risk intervening.

This film wasn't the most skillfully crafted piece I've ever seen but it did have some effective moments. I was most impressed by the actors that played the 3 girls in the sex trade.

I saw this film 2 nights ago at the Sydney Film Festival and I am still thinking about the issues that were tackled. The film was amazing and an all-round brilliant drama.
