More Detail:

I AM ALL GIRLS is a new drama streaming on Netflix about a special crimes investigator and her efforts to bring down a child sex trafficking syndicate in South Africa.

The movie opens as a group of young girls are being transported in the back of truck across South Africa in 1994. Interspersed are scenes where a mysterious person wearing a mask watches a confession tape of the man who is transporting the girls in the truck.

The group of girls are dropped off at a nice-looking house, and a man sends all the girls but one on a plane. It’s clear that this man is the central contact for the trafficking ring that’s transporting the children in and out of South Africa.

The movie fast forwards, and the audience is introduced to special crimes investigator, Jodie, as she and her team are conducting a search. The team finds the house empty. During the mission debrief, viewers learn that Jodie has hit dead end after dead end on this particular trafficking case.

Her head of command tells her to take another case. Jodie is beyond frustrated but, with the help of her good friend Ntombi and another agent, she continues to investigate the case anyway. Seemingly connected to the disappearance of a group of girls and the trafficking is a serial killer who kills known partners within the trafficking syndicate.

Jodie is passionate about saving as many children as possible, so she often disobeys authority. As a result, she’s ordered to take three months off from all detective work. However, Jodie can’t help but continue to work on the case. As she finally begins to make important discoveries, Jodie is faced with difficult moral dilemmas that could compromise not only her life, but also the lives of those closest to her.
