The child sex trade is a highly organized syndicate that rivals the drug trade in profitability. The industry has formed a pipeline which starts in the villages of Nepal and feeds a continuous supply of girls to brothels in Bombay’s nightmarish red-light district, where over 200,000 young women and children are held in captivity. Recruiters capture the girls, smugglers transport them, brothel owners enslave them, corrupt police betray them, and men rape and infect them. Every person in the chain profits except for the girls, who pay the price with their lives: 80 percent become infected with HIV. THE DAY MY GOD DIED presents the stories of young girls whose lives have been shattered by the child sex trade. The film weaves the stories of children, and their stolen hopes and dreams, into an unforgettable examination of the growing plague of child sex slavery. These girls describe the day they were abducted from their village and sold into sexual servitude as, “The Day My God Died.”
