The Price of Sex is a feature-length documentary about young Eastern European women
who've been drawn into a netherworld of sex trafficking and abuse. Intimate,
harrowing and revealing, it is a story told by the young women who were supposed to be
silenced by shame, fear and violence. Photojournalist Mimi Chakarova, who grew up in
Bulgaria, takes us on a personal investigative journey, exposing the shadowy world of sex
trafficking from Eastern Europe to the Middle East and Western Europe. Filming undercover
and gaining extraordinary access, Chakarova illuminates how even though some women escape
to tell their stories, sex trafficking thrives.
