synopsis
A charged tale based on love, sacrifice and morality, "Insatiable" depicts the depraved, inhumane world of sex trafficking, through the eyes of a Madame in a San Francisco brothel. The Madame's daughter falls in love with a sex slave and it's through the daughter's love, the madame sees the slave as a human being. This new perception drives the madame to come up with a redeeming scheme to help the girls.
background
One of the biggest social issues that plague the global community is modern day slavery. This includes indentured servitude, forced labor and sex trafficked victims . Human trafficking is the third highest income generating industry in the world after the illegal arms' and drugs trades. The profits are growing at an increasing pace since human lives are treated as commodities in a marketplace. This film will bring hope to the gravity of the issue. An industry like this shall not persist, so long as these stories get told. No one's life should be treated as a commodity.
