Laura Gemser returns to the role that made her famous in this scintillating work of depraved erotica, one of the many controversial entries in Italian director Joe D'Amato's "Black Emanuelle" series. EMANUELLE AND THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE (aka LA VIA DELLA PROSTITUZIONE and EMANUELLE AND THE GIRLS OF MADAME CLAUDE) sees Gemser's comely and sexually curious journalist tracking down a notorious Mafia boss to the jungles of Kenya in hopes of interviewing him for her newspaper. Along the way, Emanuelle inadvertently stumbles upon an even more sensational story, that of a vile international white slavery ring, run by the sadistic Madame Claude. Once again, Emanuelle must go undercover, this time as a prostitute in Madame Claude's clandestine San Diego bordello, engaging in all manner of carnal couplings while secretly working to bring down the Madame's evil empire. EMANUELLE AND THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE is one of D'Amato's finest works, a beautifully photographed (by the director himself) work of sex and sadism with a pumping soundtrack by composer Nico Fidenco (EMANUELLE AROUND THE WORLD, BOCCACCIO '70) and a cast that includes Ely Galleani (Lucio Fulci's A LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN), Gabriele Tinti (VIOLENCE IN A WOMAN'S PRISON) and Gota Gobert (EMANUELLE IN AMERICA).
