Excellent film. I was required to view it for a Sociology class on Gender in San Francisco. Our topic was Global tourist Sex trafficking. This documentary is well done from start to finish. It tugs are your heart and really makes it clear that this is a Global problem not just in India. I have been to several continents and I have seen elements of this there, however, it was glossed over by fancy hotels and entertainment establishments.
An unforgettable look at young girls in Bombay whose lives are shattered by the child sex tradeThe child sex trade is a highly organized syndicate that rivals the drug trade in profitability. The industry has formed a pipeline which starts in the villages of Nepal and feeds a continuous supply of girls to brothels in Bombay’s nightmarish red-light district, where over 200,000 young women and children are held in captivity. Recruiters capture the girls, smugglers transport them, brothel owners enslave them, corrupt police betray them, and men rape and infect them. Every person in the chain profits except for the girls, who pay the price with their lives: 80 percent become infected with HIV. THE DAY MY GOD DIED presents the stories of young girls whose lives have been shattered by the child sex trade. The film weaves the stories of children, and their stolen hopes and dreams, into an unforgettable examination of the growing plague of child sex slavery. These girls describe the day they were abducted from their village and sold into sexual servitude as, “The Day My God Died.”  The Day My God Died

While I believe each is privy to their own opinion-I do notice that those who find situations okay for one cry the loudest in lesser climates. No one should ever be forced to live a day as these young ladies. I wept for these ladies in heart throughout the documentary. All who approve of such conduct should be orally and anally subjected to the 14-40 times a day that these women and children as young as 5 and 7 years old had to endure. Posted 08/30/09 by Joanna
the children need protection no matter “how bad” is the situation… they are our future and if we don’t help to stop this horrifying trafficking the world’s future doesn’t look good.
