Hope Lost is an Italian English-language sex trafficking thriller directed by David Petrucci.

[citation needed] The film stars Danny Trejo, Mischa Barton, Michael Madsen and Daniel Baldwin.

The film chronicles the struggles of a young Romanian woman trafficked to Italy.

A young Romanian woman from a small town meets a man claiming to be a film director and he convinces her to come to Rome for auditions.

This is a ruse and she is instead lured into a life of prostitution in Italy and then sold by her pimp to a man who intends to torture her and another young woman in a snuff movie.
