Summaries. A girl risks everything for freedom after being trafficked from her mountain village in Nepal to a brothel in India. In Nepal, during a feast, a thirteen-year-old girl will meet a woman who is different from the ones in her village.
Parents need to know that Sold, based on the book by Patricia McCormick, is the fictional tale of one very young Nepalese girl's tragic journey from childhood to life as a sex slave in India. As harrowing as Lakshmi's story is, director Jeffrey D. Brown and his team have made a film that isn't exploitative; it's intended to educate and inspire.
