Episode #1.1
Disenfranchised by economic catastrophe & the fall of a nation, destitute young women & children are left behind and become prey to the underworld. They are a desirable commodity in a billion dollar industry where human beings are bought and sold. In the Ukraine, sixteen-year-old Nadia (Laurence Leboeuf, The Secret) is seduced by the promises of a modeling agency. She runs away from home and disappears. In Southeast Asia, the vacation of a middle-class American couple turns into a nightmare when their twelve-year-old daughter, Annie (Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse, 15/Love), is kidnapped and sold to a brothel. In Prague, Helena (Isabelle Blais, The Barbarian Invasions), a struggling single mother is swept off her feet by the advances of a wealthy businessman. But it's a trap and she too "disappears". In Romania, an orphaned seventeen year old Katerina (Anna Hopkins,Thunderstone) vanishes after meeting her fiancé, whom she met online. The horrific destiny of each victim is tied to a sex-trafficking ring. It's the job of Kate Morozov (Oscar and Golden Globe winner Mira Sorvino, Mighty Aphrodite), a detective for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to help find the men responsible. But first she knows she must win the faith of the victims who have learned firsthand the futility of trust. While Annie's parents join forces with Tom Halloran (Terry Haig, The Aviator) and a renegade worker for an NGO, scouting a child-prostitution ring, Nadia's grief-stricken father Viktor is embarking on his own personal hunt to find the men responsible. From a torture chamber in the suburbs of Queens to the flesh-peddlers of Russia the hunt is on, revealing a shocking conspiracy of global proportions. Featuring Emmy and Golden Globe winner Donald Sutherland, (The Italian Job) and Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty) Human Trafficking is at once a gripping government procedural, a cautionary tale of an international scourge, and one of the most compulsively important thrillers of the ye

Operation Carwash: A Worldwide Corruption Scandal Made in Brazil

Operation Carwash: A Worldwide Corruption Scandal Made in Brazil

Based on the true story of Operation Carwash, the largest and most successful corruption investigation ever seen in the world, "No One is Above the Law" tells, through the eyes of Detective Investigator Ivan, the story of how he and his team at the Brazilian Federal Police, working with the Brazilian Federal Attorneys were able to reveal and dismantle an intricate scheme of money laundering, graft, theft, corruption and bribery involving executives at Petrobrás, (the Brazilian National Oil Company), government contractors, political parties, and politicians at all levels of government - including both houses of congress, cabinet secretaries, and the current and former presidents of Brazil. Exciting and action packed, the movie reveals unbelievable details of the conflicts and dangers faced by the investigators, the roadblocks thrown to thwart the operation, and the crucial role of the Federal Judge who withstood the greatest of pressures to keep the politicians from destroying their case and coming away scott free. We follow Ivan and his team through the step-by-step investigative process that transformed what started as an investigation on drug dealers and money launderers into a movement to combat the backbone of corruption in the country, leading straight to the doorstep of the most powerful politician in the country - the ex-President Luís Inácio "Lula" da Silva. This is the story of men and women fighting against a corrupt system and trying to prove that indeed, no one is above the law.
