The Storm Makers is a 2014 documentary film directed by Guillaume Suon about human trafficking in Cambodia. The term "Storm Makers" refers to the traffickers and the damage they inflict on villages and families. One such trafficker shown in the film claims he has sold more than 500 Cambodian girls, some as young as 14.

The film premiered at the 2014 Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) and won the Mecenat Award for Best Asian Documentary Film.

Synopsis

Selon l'ONU, plus de 200 000 Cambodgiens ont été vendus comme esclaves dans plusieurs pays d'Asie du Sud-Est, tels que la Thaïlande ou la Malaisie. Aya est l'une d'entre eux. Horrifiant, son parcours constitue le fil rouge du documentaire. Jeune paysanne, elle a été réduite en esclavage à 16 ans après avoir été vendue à une agence malaisienne pour être femme de ménage. Pendant deux ans, elle a connu l'enfer. Battue, exploitée, privée de passeport par son patron, la jeune fille s'est enfuie mais, peu après, elle a été violée et séquestrée durant de longues semaines avant d'être libérée puis emprisonnée car sans papiers. Aya est parvenue à s'extirper de ce cauchemar et à rentrer chez elle, avec un jeune enfant né de son viol, ce qui lui vaut d'être méprisée par sa mère et les gens de son village.

In Lindsay Lohan's Indian Journey, Lohan meets and interviews victims of human trafficking in Delhi, Kolkata and a village in West Bengal. They talk about the exploitation and abuse they have experienced, describing sexual slavery, physical abuse and difficulties in bringing their traffickers to justice. She also talks to a former trafficker and parents of trafficked children. One trafficked boy says that he can not go back home because his mother is ill. A mother who trafficked her daughter describes how her family did not have enough food, and how even though they never received the promised payments for her daughter's work, at least she was fed.
