Apologies if I'm repeating anything already posted here. Most people have probably already seen these but for anyone who hasn't, here are four films I can personally recommend for researchers:
The Pink Room
This documentary is about child sex slavery in Cambodia. It’s very hard-hitting. For example, they show the bloodied night clothes of a little girl whose virginity was sold to a customer. But if you want a very real glimpse into what happens there you can watch it here for free. Unfortunately you will need to provide an email address to view it, but there are no problems with the site at all.
Nefarious: Merchant of Souls
This documentary has footage shot in over nineteen different countries and features expert analysis from leaders, ex-traffickers and sex slaves. You will get some great insight from this film, for example, how Moldova in eastern Europe is a central hub for human trafficking in the European/ Middle Eastern region. It is not free to view, but you can rent it here on Vimeo for $4.99.
Human Trafficking (2005)
Although this film is not a documentary I believe it has been very well-researched and accurately depicts the underworld of human trafficking. You can see Filipino children being loaded onto shipping containers to be taken across the Pacific--seeing this in particularly really hit home to me what is happening to kids around the world. Watch it here for free on YouTube. (Sorry, the quality is not the best).
Detestable
Filmed in the US, this documentary records the details of traumatic memories of Satanic Rituals that involve human sacrifice, sexual abuse, and mind-control techniques. This documentary is not free to watch, but you can rent or buy it here on Vimeo.

Thank you very much. I seek to preserve/download and share stuff like this. When they are well made, documentaríes are very helpful educational tools. I am frequently in a position, as a teacher, to play whatever I want before a captive audience. It’s nice to be able to slip stuff like this into the curriculum whenever possible.

Another documentary I'd recommend is 'I Am Jane Doe' about the sex trafficking scandal on the Backpage.com site.
It is really eye-opening and shows that not only foreigners are being trafficked, but that it can happen to a girl next door as well.
I think you can rent and buy it on the internet somewhere, unfortunately forgot on which site.

That one was recently on Netflix. I recommend it.
