The Jammed is a 2007 film written and directed by Dee McLachlan.
The film is a story about human trafficking and the sex slave trade in Melbourne, and the search for three girls trapped by a trafficking syndicate. Court transcripts and actual events were an influence in the production of the film.
The Jammed was nominated for seven AFI Awards,[1] for four FCCA awards[2] and for six IF Awards,[3] winning for best feature film, best script and best music.[4]
The film was favourably reviewed by David Stratton and Margaret Pomeranz.[5] Its original distribution plan of a DVD release was altered soon after filmmaker and distributor John L Simpson of Titan View used his own home mortgage to release the film. It ended up screening on 40 screens in Australia and 10 in New Zealand.[6]
