This Ecuadorian thriller takes on modern-day slavery, human trafficking, and the opioid crisis in a unique visual style.


A seductive, heartbreaking and scandalous portrait of sex-trafficking horrors in South America.


Dana, an aging sex worker and mother of an chronically ill 8-year old daugther, struggles to pay her pimp on time.


Her body carries bruises and evidence of her tumultuous life, and these marks reveal her biggest obstacles: vulnerability, weakness, and chemical dependence. Each body part shown represents the ruins, both financial and natural, as well as her quest to settle debts and overcome the failure to set herself free.


"THE LONGEST NIGHT is a supremely confident piece of work, dealing with extremely difficult subject matter in a way that is both sensitive and rightfully harrowing." (entertainment-focus.com)
