‘TAKEN’ is a ground breaking photo documentary ebook. Shot undercover inside Mumbai’s brothels ‘TAKEN’ is a multi touch ebook that combines stunning photography, film footage, audio commentaries, interactive maps & images and video interviews to take the reader behind locked doors into Kamathipura, Mumbai’s oldest and largest red light district.
Award winning photojournalist Hazel Thompson spent over ten years investigating Mumbai’s sex trade and during this time she spent more than 6 months living in the Kamathipura district, gaining unprecedented access into one of the largest sex industries in Asia.
The result is an extraordinary glimpse into the secrets of Mumbai’s red light district revealing the moving real-life stories of girls tricked, trafficked and sold into 21st century sex slavery. Thompson’s investigation takes us deep inside the brothels of Kamathipura and captures the hidden and dangerous underworld of modern slavery never before seen in this depth. It is a stunning work of investigative journalism.
Hazel Thompson has donated the worldwide profits from TAKEN to British charity Jubilee Campaign who have set up the Taken Campaign for Bombay Teen Challenge’s mission to rescue and rehabilitate girls and women from Mumbai’s sex industry.
