Hiding in Plane Sight: America’s Trafficking Epidemic Review

How does one critique the technical and artistic merits of a documentary such as this without coming across as a joke? Much like a stand-up special, whose only criterion of import is whether or not it’s funny, the only thing that matters in a documentary about the very real dangers of child trafficking in our backyard is whether it adequately impresses upon its audience the very real possibility that you and yours could fall victim to it. In that, Daily Wire’s Hiding in Plane Sight excels.

From a storytelling standpoint, America’s Trafficking Epidemic doesn’t quite take advantage of the full dramatic potential of its access to law enforcement and trafficking victims, letting the intrinsic heinousness of the crimes it details and your imagination do that work on their own. Whether this was an intentional choice to treat this important subject matter with the respect it deserves, rather chancing looking solacious, or due to a lack of artistic vision, is debatable and fairly irrelevant. The end result is a documentary that you can share with your older children (you should screen it first to make that determination), using it as a tool to help them, rather than as nightmare fuel for you and your spouse as you lie in bed in a cold sweat trying to figure out how to keep them safe without shuting off your home’s electricity and installing a portcullis and moat in their bedroom.

As a parenting tool, Hiding in Plain Sight: America’s Trafficking Epidemic is absolutely Worth it.
