  • This makes me sick, people who do this should die. things like this happen everywhere in every country in the world. young girls get exploited by loverboys and end up in a foreign country working as a prostitute. Even in my own country which is a rich westeren country it happens. But There's nothing we can do, there's nothing we can say. Goodnight travel well , victims of sex trafficking.

  • @007nitramzlatan-There are still good things on this planet, don't give up!

  • I dont wanna live in this planet anymore

  • Sick people

  • this music+ this pub = awesome

  • this music+ this pub = awesome

  • it reminds me that i have no right to feel sad for my life..

  • it reminds me that i have no right to feel sad for my life.

  • And in this video the guy is actually cute. Not in real life.

  • i feel horrible being human right now.

  • the reality of the situation is so, so, SO much worse.

  • I've seen them all the time, but never like this

  • this is sick to me... it makes me sick.

  • Some facts:

    - In most countries across the world, there isn't any minimum punishment; so it is not considered a punishable offence if the perpetrator has not 'kidnapped' the women/children by law.

    - When women are smuggled from places like Asia/Latin America, etc, their passports are taken away by the pimps, and even when 'rescued' by the government, they are jailed because they are considered illegal immigrants.

    Lets put an end to this slavery.

    Raise awareness, write to your MPs, join NGOs!

  • Goosebumps... 

  • there's nothing to top brandon's voice....it makes me cry whenever i hear this song....whenever i hear him sing in general...the video had no real part in it....only that he wrote this song about his dying mother, Jean :( im so sorry brandon...and im also so sorry to the women who've nothing else to do but this ....

  • I've had this video on my ipod since 2009, I've cried every time I have seen it.

    Not only do I cry because of trafficking, I cry because I feel their pain in some form. We all have our struggles, and at hard times I remind myself that someone out there has it worst.

  • 500,387 views? UNDEREXPOSED. 

  • It are times like these where I spit upon some artists feet. While some people are out there partying all night, some people have become forced to be people of the night. Yet somehow, the more famous music and all primetime Television is given to those stupid people. Why? Is it because humankind wants to forget? Wants to ignore? Dont you see? WE WOULDNT HAVE TO IGNORE IF WE STOPPED THESE THINGS FROM EVER HAPPENING. IF WE PUT A STOP TO IT. Im not saying it will be easy, but it can be done.

  • this makes me feel ill inside... I've had to stop watching the video

  • WTF !!!

  • that cyclists take good killers¡¡¡¡¡

    no other groups or artists who just do their image =(

    I know that the killers had always supported foundations ¡¡¡¡=D

  • This is so powerful. How can someone dislike it? I guess they may be the pimps.

  • this is sick

  • this is sick,this crime goes up with mass murder and wayyy past rape

  • i dont get it :/ can someone explain? without being rude and sarcastic?

  • @favefave345 shes a prostitite forced against her will, the asian guy is one of her clients, the big guy is the man whos cominmg to get her to work, he transporting her

  • i dont get it. whos the big guy? whos the asian guy? she seems to be pretty into the asian guy

  • i WILL do something.

  • unicef should continue to do this with mtv. its a really positive project.

  • The guy that directed twilight directed this? Twilight is awful but this is beautifully edited and directed. The situation under which it is based off of is horrible and is meant to raise awareness. But the video is amazing!

  • After watching this video, I am emotional. This is put together so well, going back a little more each time. I wish more music videos had this effect on me.

  • @funsun18 i fully agree.

  • omg. that is horrible!!!!!! why would someone do sucha thing???

  • @angelfrmabov32697

    Yes, the song is about human trafficking

  • So well done. Amazing and really makes you think.

  • I made my 15 and 16 year olds watch this.

    Its important that girls of their age know that this is not approriate behavior and that this DOES happen. We need to put an end to this. Its horrible. How come this isent a major crime? This is horrible. Please tell your kids and spread the word. One change helps many.

  • Finally. This music video along with other movies such as Taken are finally shedding some light onto this dark secret that America along with the rest of the world have been keeping on the DL. after watching this i hope that people realize (they spelled it wrong in the video..) that we must do something about this. We all need to keep fighting for this cause

  • is the song itself about human traficking?

  • @angelfrmabov32697 "This seven minute gothic symphony is a tribute to guitarist Dave Keuning's mother who passed away prior to the recording of the album. Brandon Flowers' mother was diagnosed with a brain tumour and the song took on an extra meaning for the Killers frontman and chief songwriter. He commented to The Observer Music Monthly: "It goes from being the darkest thing we've ever done before shooting up to the clouds at the end. Oh, it's a heartbreaker. It just rips your guts out."

  • The people who are in charge of making these girls lives torture should be castrated and thrown into a small cell locked up for the rest of their meaningless miserable lives.

  • i know its about sex slavery but this video is so confusing to me. i dont understand it

  • @StephanilovesBrian You have to pay attention. Each clip is showing a little more of the story, starting with something you think to be a normal occurrence between two people, but then it shows you more. Throughout the video it tells you more about what going on. She wasn't just his girlfriend or anything. She had been basically kidnapped and forced into sex trafficking. She is a victim forced by horrible people to do something that should be voluntary but in actuality is rape. Watch it again.

  • @StephanilovesBrian that big guy was basically a pimp and the guy she got with paid for her

  • This is disgusting. It makes me want to go out and rescue these poor young girls forced into this. I can't even imagine what it would be like if it was me, or any women in my family, I would be close to dying. These men that think this is okay, and take part in this are nasty, kniving and evil. As children of God, brothers and sisters, we need to help eachother.

  • did the killers make this video to raise awareness about sex slavery or glorify it?????

    it's such a terrible thing

    but Shay Mitchell from Pretty Little Liars is actually starting groups and raising awareness about sex slavery

  • @livluvlaff11 to raise awareness they are linked with an organization mtvexit.org

  • I love this song so much. It's so good that this video was made because most people aren't aware of this. Thank you so much for posting,

  • Did anybody else notice that the creepy guy is also from the first Batman?

  • The very, very sad, real truth of it is, that while everyone is raging and becoming angry and upset and hateful towards the people at fault, i can't help but look at the cab driver and know that somewhere inside, he's good. and that the people buying are only lonely, they don't know what theyr doing. And I've been there. You will have your anger beat out of you.

  • Best Killers song ever. So dark. Love it.

  • Things like these make me lose my hope for humanity.

  • this is so sad :(

  • This video actually made me cry. People NEED to raise awareness about this kind of torture. God... words can't even exaplin how I feel right now.

  • i read about this video in a magazine and thought i should watch it because I had no idea what sex trafficing was. after seeing this video i thought what kind of a sick human being would put someone else through that? I'm glad they started a foundation 2 put sick-o's like that in prison. the men and women who make people do that should b subject to the same kind of torture. how could u force a child to let another person invade their body?

  • @TAPSulver69 they are forced to do this.. the are kidnapped and sold into prostitution.

  • so depressing. it's terrifying that things like this actually go on in this screwed up world :'(

  • its such a sad thing that people actually do this..i want to try and find a way to help out.

  • I feel like they could have done a better job portraying sex trafficking.

  • @madelinesmac Yup. It's not that glamorous looking.

  • @madelinesmac Yeah, it's too dramatic.

  • @madelinesmac Yeah, they could have gotten real footage documentary style of prostitutes.

  • i dont get it. do people choose to be this? or are they forced into it against their will. like do they willingly get all pretty and have sex like a prostitute? or are they forced? like threatened death if they dont?

  • @TAPSluver69 there forced into it....its horrible and disgusting.

  • @TAPSluver69

    No, they're forced.

  • @TAPSluver69 of course they're forced! Did you see the look on the girls faces when the door opened and in came the woman and creepy guy? Didn't you see the movie Taken? Most prostitutes are not willing!!

  • @TAPSluver69 Women are usually kidnapped and forced into it. There is a fine line between prostitution and human trafficking. This is against their wills.

  • @TAPSluver69 they are kidnapped and forced. they have no choice.

  • @TAPSluver69 they are forced..

  • Usually what happens is one of 2 things. a) women and children are kidnapped and forced into sex slavery to the profitable gain of their kidnappers. This happens a lot in the middle east; b) women tht enter into contracts with sex traffickers, like in immigration, and end up stuck in these "work contracts" tht never really seem to end. usually these women are illiterate and come from 3rd-world countries. they dont have other options or a voice. nobody chooses this. would you?

  • to answer your questions: Would u choose to be a sex slave ever? theyre forced into it often b/c they dont have any other options. these women often come from 3rd world countries and are oppressed and would do anything to get out, even sell themselves as wh*res. what happens often is that they make a deal with some1 to take them to a beter country i.e. the US. then they have to work off their debt as sex slaves for a few years but often they get addicted to drugs so they stay/no place 2 go

  • @TAPSluver69 usually modern slave victims are smuggled in from other countries. they are lured in, they are promised a good job, education, a better life, to help their families back at home. once they get here to america, they are exploited and forced into this lifestyle. they dont escape in fear of their life, and the threat of violence against their family members.

  • @TAPSluver69 if they willingly did it it wouldn't be slavery.

  • @TAPSluver69 they are young girls who are captured and sold as sex slaves.

  • @TAPSluver69 I don't think ANYONE would choose this. Most girls forced into sex trafficing are runaways that are picked up "pimps" or whatever they call themselves. And some are kidnapped. Some don't have any choice, it's the life they're born into or they don't feel they deserve better. It all depends on the person. But they're not willingly having sex. They're usually forced to do stuff with death threats. They're basically cattle to whoever they're "leader" is.

  • @TAPSluver69 it's called sex trafficking. lots of times they get kidnapped, drugged, and are forced to do this. it's horrible and probably horrifying. the movie Taken has a girl get kidnappen and her dad saves her. if a girl gets kidnapped, they are likely to never be found by their loved ones because they get sold to trafficers all around the world. it's a disgusting thing but it's real, and it can be happening anywhere..... :(

  • Everyone's afraid to do something...but what you really need to do is make the subject aware. That is doing something.

  • This is america's dirty little secret. I'm glad somebody is talking about it.

  • @Girlofpages its not just America.. its everywhere. even in your community. and in mine... all around the world, this is happening and it is a serious problem. Its too bad it has taken this long for the subject to come up...

  • @Girlofpages Oh whatever, sex slavery is much more common in Europe, Russia especially.

  • @Girlofpages yeah mee too.. it's horrible that it happens and i saw this video and now my eyes have rly been opened to what can happen (this happens in the movie "Taken" as well)

  • When I was around younger I saw the movie on life time called Human Trafficking with my mom, and it gave me night mares for weeks and not to long ago I saw taken when even gave me more night mares and after seeing this music video I think that I would like to do something with my life that helps to put the people that do this behind BARES!!!

  • thats soo sad :'( so sad!!!

  • Omg this video and the movie taken, have opend my eyes and i want to end this horrible thing

  • This song is so powerful

  • <3

  • “It goes from being the darkest thing we’ve ever done before shooting up to the clouds at the end. Oh, it’s a heartbreaker. It just rips your guts out.”

  • all music videos should be made this way...

  • I've just watched a film 'Taken' and realised how big problem this is

  • sta dberia ser sundtrack de amanecer! seria gnial!

  • "This isn't a war ordinary humans can win! This is the future - death's an inconvenience now, nothing more. We are all dead men walking."

  • does anyone know where I can find a live performance of this?? I cant find one on youtube...

  • @TheRed201025 They're yet to do one.

  • Whenever im depressed, and this song comes on my Ipod, it is not in the least bit a good combination, more like a I really wanna kill myself combo

  • @IndeExo Yeah the rest of Day and Age is so upbeat and helped me get through my friends passing but when this song came on I had to skip it every single time... I love this song but I think its the most depressing song the Killers have ever done.

  • i felt like crying

  • yes these are normal things for earth... things such as love, respect and freedom are unheard and unknown.. what a shame

  • This video and song send shivers down my spine every time.

    Welcome to the real world.

  • powerful song, makes you wanna change the world around you, but you really can't . its the people, we cant really change everyone, we have no power, a little pep talk wont work on those bast*rds

  • Welcome to hell .

  • I hate this world, but i hate the possibility of doing something about it even more, because i can't blame anyone for it then...

  • This hurts to watch.

  • some things cost more than you realize.

  • wow.

  • This song really moved me. I lost both my Parents when I was young and the words to this song sum up how I felt and still feel about it

  • Honestly the only reason I'm studying to be a lawyer. I want to put people responsible for trafficking, sex crimes, and child abuse in a 6x6 prison cell or 6 feet under the ground.

  • @coolduderyan07 should have studied to become a doctor instead to help those obviously damaged individuals who do things like that. ange, retribution and revenge does no one any good

  • @scullyy maybe you should study full stop putting people behind in jail or in the ground will prevent it happening in future

  • @coolduderyan07 That's kind of stupid. That'll never do anyone any good.

    "Oh, you hurt someone, so I'm going to put you in jail." Yes, that is what they deserve, but if that's the only reason you're studying to be a lawyer, you are pathetic and disgusting. Anger isn't doing anyone any good. Not to mention, there are other things you'll need to do. Are you telling me that you won't care unless someone has been charged of assault? Really?

    You're pathetic.

  • @coolduderyan07 you will never succeed in that,unfortunately.

  • @coolduderyan07 I like your intention my friend, hopefully due time, social position, money and influences does not dilute your noble intentions.

  • So sad. :( what do you do to stop this stuff?

  • This video shows the truth about our "sick" world.

  • just started to cry this hurts me to my soul

  • It's sad because I'd venture to guess most of you who appear noble in reality watch pornography. It's all evil, but I would say trafficking is far more heinous.

    The fact of the matter is that everyone needs Jesus Christ. If you don't know Him I implore you to humble yourself and repent of your vile wickedness. Put your faith in Him and He will give you the Holy Spirit and enable you to live a holy life.

  • @PropheticVindicator No, it's not all evil. Trafficking and pimping IS heinous (not "far more") where women and children are beaten, drugged, deprived, and killed. But adults who willingly consent their bodies to the sex industry, are the ones who receive money, have legal rights, and can just as easily get out as they got in is not evil. Legalizing prostitution would decrease the spread of AIDS, allow those in the sex industry to be protected not ignored, and stop traffickers and pimps.

  • Vengeance Is MINE says the LORD!

  • To cause all of that suffering just to make some money...smh.

  • this video make me think about the people that who through for this and make think if was me ! it's soo bad /:

  • Does human depravity know no bounds? =/

  • this video really makes me wanna throw up. i love the song though.

  • Prostitution is a saviour for these girls! Otherwise they have no job and make $0 instead of $1 a day...

    It's not fun and they have to put up with a lot of sick men, but get real, what else are they going to do? Uneducated, living in crappy countries, no skills, no opportunities.

    These girls have truly been blessed with a means of income. They should thank Allah.

  • @Will403536 its not just prostitution. its HUMAN TRAFFICKING..they don't want to do it..and apparently they'd like their dignity and their lives back rather than a dollar. they're sex slaves --> they don't get any money!

    think about what you're saying and educate yourself before you spread ignorance on youtube.

    even if you were joking..that's kinda sick mann.. =/

  • @Will403536 You dumb fuck. They don't chose that, they don't thank Allah that they get to be rape over and over many times over a day or so. There is a difference between human trafficking and prostitution. Research before you put statements out there not knowing what you are saying. Nor trying to sound as intelligent as you wish, people who think like you make me sick and fear for the world.

  • @Will403536 wow, i really hope you realize that this happens all over the world, not in only in "crappy countries". You clearly have no idea about the issue, get yourself educated.

    oh and just so you know, it happens to men too. educated, skillful. women AND men

  • really powerful

  • The horrible thing is that this is real :/

  • The media talks about the war on drugs. We need to address human trafficking. what an amazing video and song. Kudos to The Killers for making such an amazing video.

  • This song is so depressive. Why I love it ?

  • This video actually has a meaning.. There's no girls shakin their asses infront of someone...

  • when i see this video i think about TAKEN . I love this movie. It's so real. Completely disaster what our world is.

  • i just remembered this song after a year, i forgot how much i love it.

  • u see? this is just how our world works. i wish i could just stop it. but nobody can. nobody. You can do shit ..

    song ? depressing for one big 4:02 - moment

    video ? depressing for one big 4:02 - moment

    living daylights ? the rest of our shitty life.

    I'm sorry for breaking your language ..

    i hope you understood.

    V !

  • David Slade is a genius. This video is heartbreaking. It really makes you open your eyes and see the world for what it it, which sadly is not the fairytale we think.

  • makes me dislike humans, but i wish i would do more than just feel a strong emotion for a short period of time, and then go back to my day

  • @silverfox1234 well said dude... :')

  • Such a powerful video and song!

  • poor girl.i'm sure these kind of things happen everywhere in this world

    i hate they treat them like some kind of merchandise or something like that

  • That is absolutely overwhelming.

    And this culture I'm a part of needs it.

  • Congratulations, very well done ! We must fight hard against the sex trafficking. Beautiful song and music and very talented actress, isn't it ?

  • THAT IS OUR WORLD

  • =O OMG! This is absolutely heartbreaking!!!

  • i now realize.

  • Ez mennyire igaz...

  • I'm feeling the energy of this song...it so overwhelming to feel it at heart.If U understand its TRUE meaning. . .

  • The message is strong and meaningful, yet, take away the visual imagery and the song carries the same message 10 fold.

  • Very powerful and realistic. Thanks for working together to make this. We must help spread awareness.

  • some people dont care this things...........

  • This breaks my heart to know that this happening to someone right now. So sad.

  • how can some people just be such assholes? ... :/

  • I can't believe this is happening. Some people are so damn disgusting! There are some sick people out there and they need to be stopped.

  • @1bamluver this is the world kid it happens all the time.

  • This is a brilliant video. I work with a team who are using Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc to raise awareness on sex trafficking with young people. If you get a chance, please check out our music video and trailer for the film My Dangerous Loverboy.

  • CHECK OUT love146.org. it is an organization trying to stop child sex slavery and trafficking.

  • of course one of the best songs of day & age

  • I love it! It's so powerful and intense... plus the song goes perfectly with the video. I hope it really helps stopping sex trafficking.

  • wait im really confused...what just happened in the vid? can someone explain the storyline to me? please? it seems like a really touching video but um...im not picking up on the storyline well. who's the young guy?...im so confused x.x

  • I like the song, it says exactly what a lot of exploded people feel

  • I thing the song really belongs to the video, and yeah people can be disgusting, repulsive, repugnant and abhorrent by treating human beings as objects and worse than animals.

  • this is the world that we live in

  • @SunBrar7 And the responsibility is ours to improve it.

    

  • Men are victims of poverty and crime too!.... do you think men like belonging to organised crime? how about the crypts or MS13... or other American style gangs... where did they come from? and can you feminists Stop the culture that is widespread all over the world......

  • Stop the Misandry.... stop the male bashing.... fight for true gender equality....

  • why are men so bad?

  • Every time I watch this video it makes me want to watch the movie Taken. Liam Neeson takes out an entire group of guys like this. Great movie.

  • @unccmf44 Yeah that movies a really good movie.

  • @unccmf44 man i saw that film, you would not want to mess with Liam Neeson

  • wow...the words fail me!!

  • This really makes me cry!!! Wish there was something I could do..

  • :(((

  • Great Song one of the best ever

  • Sad and scary. And unfortunately is reality of many women out there.

  • that girl on that vid. is my friend its weird to see her like that.

  • Brandon's mother died :(

  • She died?!?! How do you know? Where did you hear that? Thats terrible!

  • @reignofsparks42 She did die. In February. It says it on Wikipedia.
