It’s mostly businessmen from around the world that keep this kind of trafficking going. Especially from here in the u.s. Everyday people like dads, uncles, brothers, grandfathers etc. And you’ll never know because it’s usually out of town. Either out of state or out of the country. And usually with really young or underage girls. Most people would be absolutely shocked to learn that there are more of these pedophiles in the business community, including ceo’s, than there are in prisons
This is beautiful… The Killers are so wonderful and kudos to this video for being so moving…
I cried when I saw this. Devastatingly true. Hats off to The Killers & MTV – The lyrics, the music video – A message too powerful to be ignored.
Very touching.
Very powerful.
Thank you for making this Video – really powerful – had me in tears. #StopChildTraffickingNow
chills down my spine everytime i watch this…
i personally think this is the killers best video/song b/c it sends an amazing message
David Slade did an awesome job directing this.
Good!
is commendable to see that the Killers will worry about this global issue is to stop this kind of inhumane abuse.
MTV is also good to worry.
trafficking in persons is an issue that concerns us all, it must be stopped
the killers are amazing,
glad to see they are sending out a good message.
i cry when i saw this :s
Powerful video… One of the best.
where is exit??? heard about it like something about al the best house dj’s go there and its number one spectacle in the world with the best partys
The Killers are amazing in every way
Yes this happens, and its much worse that this depicts. There are places working on this and many people are trying to work to end trafficing of women and children. There are laws against this but the issue is people keep things secret.
If you see something suspicious women who look scared. Let someone know. This will always be where it is and stay the same unless we speak out.
Amazing.

Kudos to The Killers!!
the killers are amazing, arent they?
Wow I am touched
The message in the video, paired with the song, send out a message too powerful to be ignored. It’s amazing.
Already loved the song, which is powerful by itself, but after watching this video, I was tingling all over. Very important issue.
this clip is so true
good song
good band
man… the song already gives me the chills and this video just froze me…
have you ben living under a rock? prostitution is so widespread in this world now and millions of girls are experiencing such issues where they have to sell their bodies to men and get money for their own families. Just look around you, if you see poor people, then you should know that such issues exist because poor people will do anything to get money out of desperation. OPEN YOUR EYES.
ha. Maybe not the right situation but still i appreciate the irony
very good, I believe the director was David Slade and he did such a good job. Talk about chills. Even though its a wide known topic ( human trafficking) we tend to forget about it , in our daily lives. Its good to be reminded, we need to all take a second and realize our lives aren’t the hardest to live. There is always someone else out there, and they have it harder. You have a choice to make about what direction you want. They dont.
