The Killers Follow Radiohead With Human Trafficking Music VideoJuly 9, 2009
 The music video for The Killers' new single, 'Goodnight, Travel Well', highlights the dangers and impact of human trafficking.
The film, shot in collaboration with MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking), UNICEF and USAID, shows a woman who is being sexually exploited. The concept has been created by advertising agency Colman Rasic Carrasco, who developed a similar video for Radiohead's 'All I Need' in 2008. "We are deeply shocked and appalled that women and children are forced into such exploitative situations,” The Killers said. The US band added that they hoped the video would enable “millions of people across the world learn about this tragic form of modern-day slavery". More than 1.2 million children are trafficked around the world each year and nearly 80 percent of all trafficking is for sexual exploitation. Women and young girls are among those most at risk. The video for 'Goodnight, Travel Well' will be released globally into an estimated 500million homes on all of MTV's platforms. It will be shown for the first time in the UK and Ireland from midday on Monday (July 13). (by Jason Gregory) See also: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
