• Resumen

  • The issue of human trafficking is a current problem of global magnitude that does not discriminate between age, sex or social status. Its representation in cinema can be traced in documentaries, in short films, in television series and through images that invite the recipient to analyze the causes and effects of this problem. However, in Latin America there is a large film production focused on pointing out how trafficking in persons works. Within Mexican cinema films that develop the topic of human trafficking are articulated, several of them merge with films that address female prostitution. Even the image of the prostitute has been a pretext to evade an analysis focused only on the problem of human trafficking. In 2012, the issue of trafficking resurfaced as a social need to denounce the situation of women who live on the southern border of Mexico.
