    Great investigation Conor... And you don't have to go all the way to U.A.E. to see this type of events. Mexico City, sufferes from that aslo, but the trafficking is made from South America... They've tried to stop it but, it happens even below the govt's nose.

    Really interesting pod - this issue is clearly prevalent in Dubai due in part to the business industry there, which is itself alarming.

    I like the "Vegas of the Middle East" analogy.

    There has to be sordid pervavsion to places where religion and vice collide....and you have not even researched the racism there...

    Human trafficking is rife in dubai and this documentary is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Bani your comment is so true, racism is the biggest and most overlooked issue in Dubai and the rest of the Middle East.

    Been there; and a similar establishment. Its pretty crazy. At the door we saw All these attractive women from across the globe paying to go inside this club. So we figured we'd take a look. When we got to the front they told us that men didn't have to pay (huh?). When we got inside it was clear what was up. Females from Brazil, China, and Ethiopa SWARMED. Like hyena's on a wounded impala. Lol, one of my associates was oblivious though, completely thought he just had it going on that night. I had to break it down for him.
