Programmer's Pick

Cargo of Love dives headfirst into exploitation drama, mixing taboo themes of white slavery and female captivity with a lurid Manhattan backdrop. Anton Holden’s film doesn’t shy away from the sleaze—expect plenty of vice, danger, and a cast of shady operators pulling the strings.
