Undercover with the Clerics: Iraq's Secret Sex Trade

7.4 / 10 | 5h | United Kingdom
2019 | Documentary
This powerful investigation into Shia clerics in some of Iraq's holiest shrines uncovers a dark network of exploitation of young women and girls, trapped into prostitution and pimped out by a religious elite. Unprecedented undercover filming and victim testimony reveal how they procure young women for male clients and are prepared to conduct 'pleasure marriages' with children as young as ten years old. These halal pleasure marriages totally circumvent Iraq civil law, but are routinely ignored.
