Behind the everyday bargains we all love — the $10 manicure, the unlimited shrimp buffet — is a hidden world of people bought and sold to keep those prices at rock bottom. Noy Thrupkaew investigates the human trafficking industry – which flourishes in the US and Europe, as well as developing countries – and shows us the human faces behind the illegal labor that feeds global consumers.

full respect to the message but holy god this chick is hot

I was really amazed while I was watching the video, as others kind of problems around the world but never concern about human trafficking. People have to face about what's going on. In this case, unbelievable how police or justice system can be part of it and doing nothing instead helping, just because they are from different countries, or they are poor, different color or race they will be assaulted and even abused because they are in U.S???
As persons, they have right, voice, feeling. They are person who come to US for a better life and better economic status, better future.
We people have to learn everything what we can, and about companies, we need to be conscious how products are brought to our hands so easily without knowing the background, I mean, there are people who wastes lots of food making potluck , parties or another sort of activities, and sometimes activities that even make sense.

Human trafficking is a horrible crime however it is needed in todays world, it is needed to keep supplies high and prices low, without human trafficking there would be high prices for technology, and it wouldn't take long for the consumers to start to cry again with the high prices, Human Trafficking is a loop, and it cant end until there is massive change to wages, even that would upset the economy and make the world crash. Yes it is bad, but unfortunately we cannot live without it.

As long as any group is systematically exploited, everyone is in grave danger. We in the US have stood by and watched for decades as our government has used every dirty trick in the book, including brute force, to create appalling conditions in "Third World" countries so that US-based corporations could set the terms for exploiting these populations and their natural resources, and thus make huge profits. It's the standard imperial model. I'm afraid that much of the US population supported this behavior, or at least looked the other way, because we perceived ourselves and our "high standard of living" as the beneficiaries.

We who pay attention to these things have been warning for decades that the long-term plan is to bring that "third world" model of governance home to the US domestic population. And now, here it is. Sham elections, militarized police forces, etc.etc. The lesson here is: what goes around comes around. That's why we all have to care about it when anyone is exploited or enslaved. If we ignore it, we're next.

This why I do not believe in the law . Virtually no one goes to jail for SLAVERY organizing anymore , Simply too much many involved being made by the PIMPS & Labour organizers with corporations also being in this !!

There is NO SYSTEM that can deal with this & for the most part the public are not interested nor are governments !!

This makes me think about the possible sufferings hidden behind bargain deals that I might have blindly and greedily consumed. Yet, to the average Joe, I find it challenging to unearth the truth about whether or not a foreign worker providing me a very pocket-friendly service has been trafficked reluctantly or not. E.g Manicurist providing manicure services on her own friendly accord. Ultimately, this talk has been useful in raising awareness of widespread human trafficking.

This is awkward... I have a pineapple plantation phone case from Hawaii.. Whoops

Thank you so much, Noy, for this enlightening talk about human trafficking and exploitation in the most "regular" places.

Wow ...where can I vomit....this makes me sick!
People acting & treating other people like animals.
They need to come to justice.

Excellent talk!

Food is cheap... at what cost?

Decent talk for raising awareness with stats and anecdotes, but no tangible solutions.

its not that hard to abuse the law if you know what you are doing and they DONT, and thats why the victims of human trafficking is mostly poor and uneduacted person.

Says some fat chick who paid to be up there.

#BasicIncome for all!

She just strikes me as the type of person who starts with their conclusion and works back to the "facts". Obviously an important message but a poor messenger.

it feels like her speech does not justify the content of her work. I didn't like her speech but many things she said was really interesting and important.
