“The Price of Sex” is a documentary that delves into the grim reality faced by young women from Eastern Europe who become ensnared in the dark world of sex trafficking and exploitation. This intimate and powerful film shares the voices of these women, who defy the silence imposed by shame, fear, and violence. Photojournalist Mimi Chakarova, originally from Bulgaria, embarks on a deeply personal investigative mission, shedding light on the clandestine operations of sex trafficking that stretch from Eastern Europe to the Middle East and Western Europe. By filming covertly and securing remarkable access, Chakarova reveals that despite some women managing to escape and share their experiences, the sex trafficking industry continues to flourish.
