The day that my god died is the story of young girls whose lives have been shattered by the child sex trade. They describe the day they were abducted from their village and sold into sexual servitude. The film provides actual footage from the brothels of Bombay, known even to tourists as “The Cages,” captured with spy cameras. It weaves the stories of girls, and their stolen hopes and dreams, into an unforgettable examination of the growing plague of child sex slavery. Some of the girls were sold at the age of seven and beaten up severely, stabbed, raped, drugged and even murdered.
