The Killers - Goodnight, Travel Well (official music video by UNICEF and MTV) HD!

LONDON, United Kingdom, 13 July 2009 — Starting today, MTV audiences around the world will see a new music video that aims to raise awareness about sex trafficking. Featuring the rock band The Killers, the video is an exclusive collaboration between UNICEF, MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) and the US Agency for International Development.

The track, Goodnight, Travel Well, is from the album Day & Age. The video is the second in a series of music video collaborations that highlight the danger and impact of human trafficking.

The series launched last year with an award-winning film - produced by MTV EXIT that featured the Radiohead single All I Need.

"We are deeply shocked and appalled that women and children are forced into such exploitative situations, said a spokesperson for The Killers. We hope that through MTV's efforts, and this powerful video, millions of people across the world learn about this tragic form of modern-day slavery."

The video for Goodnight, Travel Well has the potential to reach more than 500 million households in 168 countries.

There is almost no country in the world now that isnt affected by human trafficking in some way, said UNICEF Chief of Child Protection Susan Bissell. The statistics are staggering. More than 1.2 million children are being trafficked each year and nearly 80 per cent of all trafficking is for sexual exploitation, and the most at risk are girls.

We see this music video as a powerful way to reach out and raise awareness among young people, across borders and across language barriers, she added.

The Goodnight, Travel Well video was directed by film and music video veteran David Slade, in collaboration with the renowned production company Anonymous Content. The creative concept was developed by the Australian advertising agency CRC, with support from the UK music consultancy Huge Music.

The video provides insight into the realities of trafficking, with a particular focus on the trafficking of children and adolescents into forced prostitution.

[Bandido001]

its life.

[janelle4christ]

so just accept it?

I think not.

i think that this video means a lot, & I'm glad that they chose this song.. But Brandon Flowers wrote this song for his and Dave's mothers who had recently passed away. It fits, but that's not what it originally intended. I guess it's ok since The Killers obviously had to agree that their song could be used for this & they are such great guys that they thought it would be a good idea.

@MarieLeigh7 So true. It's so unfair how girls are more vulnerable to such danger compared to guys.

[MarieLeigh7]

Everytime I watch this I end up being pissed off because things like that are actually happening in the world and guys think of women as just their little play toys

[sleepysnoopyseema]

why didn't she run away or lash out? she just smiled and went along with it.... was she threatened?

[HURRICANEShellby]

This makes me cry every time I watch this..great song though!

[JupiterMars00]

I just can't believe that some women do this to other women....1:37. Sad.

[Fallfrumastar]

I just heard about this through a magazine.I feel so blind.And useless.It's hurts me so much to know that stuff like this is going on right now.This is disgusting.This isnt life.Little girls lives ,And womens lives shouldnt have to be like that.Speacialy when people that care , Can change it for them.And save them.

[MadiAdair]
