frontline

Last night I watched Sex Slaves on PBS' Frontline. If you have the opportunity, it is on again Thursday, at 12 a.m. I'm assuming that is Thursday night, not Wednesday, but I may be wrong.

This is a very important piece of investigative work and very difficult to watch. It concerns the sex trade in the Ukraine, some other former Russian states, and Turkey. Many of the women are tricked and lured with the promise of regular jobs, often by known acquaintances.

Sometimes, with so much misery and hardship in the world, it makes you wonder if you have any right to be happy. Of course we do, but it's good to appreciate our good fortune.
