Event Duration: 120 minutes

Trafficked - The Reckoning is the inspiring story of a former police officer’s quest to find the man who enslaved a young Thai girl in a Sydney brothel. Ning was thirteen when she was trafficked to Australia and sold to a Sydney brothel operator. Chris Payne was an AFP officer at the time, running Australia’s first anti-trafficking operation.

Ning’s moving story was first told in the documentary Trafficked which sent shock-waves around the nation and holds the record for the highest rating ‘Storyline Australia’ program for SBS TV.

This sequel is a tough and suspenseful investigative documentary that takes us into the brutal underworld of the slave trade in Australia and Thailand. It will grip audiences as they follow two remarkable people, Chris Payne and Ning, struggling to put to rest an incident that has haunted them for fifteen years.

Proceeds from this screening will go towards the making of East Timor’s first locally produced feature film – A Guerra Da Beatriz a co-production between FairTrade Films, Dili Film Works and John Maynard.

There will be a Q&A with the film makers after the screening.
