    i think this is amazing and that more awareness needs to be raised about these types of issues. i'm writting a book and one of the characters deals in human trafficing i want to try and highlight how harsh a reality it is and what some people have to contend with and that it has to stop. it is fantastic that awareness is being raised in a way peolpe will take notice. well done guys xxx

    Wow, powerful and emotive! What can I say? They are bringing awareness to a vile and disgusting trade that is still at it's peak now. I can't bear the thought of women and children being trafficked and used like pieces of meat for other people's gains! The thing is, that the government don't actually do enough about it because really it makes too much money on the black market for it to close. Too much of it is allowed to happen! The Killers have used this video to bring it to the forefront, and to make normal people realise that enough is enough!!

    It's great to see "The Killers' using their position to raise awareness to such a worthy cause. Recently, I saw 2 films ('Eastern Promises' & 'Taken') which are both about human trafficking,( both are very good films, but some scenes are very difficult to watch). The point I'm trying to make is that we have to acknowledge that this is not just happening in movies but disturbingly, in real life. This subject is not broadcasted much on television or in newspapers, but, on rare occasions when it is, it is a shocking thought. In the same way, this video is uncomfortable to watch, but importantly, it does get the message across very clearly. This heinous crime has to be addressed and stopped, it is unbelievable that this is happening in our modern times. Well done 'The Killers'.

    I love how our boys have put one of their songs to this cause. It is disgraceful what happens to the poor women that go through trafficking. One minute they're in a relationship with a nice guy and then the next minute they are away with some low-life that doesn't treat them with any respect or love. No human being should have to go through that and the monsters who actually do what they do to them poor girls don't deserve to live. People say that there is nothing we can do to stop human trafficking and child exploitation but there is, The Killers have just started it and i say we finish it..

    It was a disturbing, yet powerful video. It is great to see the band support a cause such as this, a cause which unfortunately should be addressed more than it has been in the past

    Proud that you guys have taken this issue to heart!

    Seeing this video touched me very much - it made me cry and I am even more proud to be a victim, seeing what all good causes the boys support. But on the other hand - I hope but I really doubt that it will affect people who actually do trafficking. I have made the experience that those people think very selfish and dont even realize the wrong they do. And that is the sadest thing of all. But maybe it helps that young people think twice before they start with such things, I really want to hope and believe...

    The video was so sad that I am left with an empty, sick feeling. I hope it makes a difference, something needs to. Goodnight...

    Wow! I was very affected by this video and the message, it took me back to Craig Kielburger's book 'Free the Children'. The internet can be such an escapist trap: We can read a horrible news story in the comfort of our offices and press the red x when we're done-- time to realize that we can actually do something to help stop exploitation of children around the world. Thank you Killers, I too am proud to be aligned with you!
