Singer Duffy slams 365 DNI
Last month, singer Anne Duffy penned an open letter to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, requesting the streaming giant to remove the film 365 Days, as it eroticises 'sex trafficking, kidnapping, and rape'. In her letter, Duffy mentioned that movies of such sort, should not be anyone's idea of entertainment, nor should it be commercialised in this manner. Adding to the same, Anne Duffy penned that her own experiences of being 'kidnapped and drugged' prompted her to author the letter.

Duffy wrote that victims of trafficking and kidnapping are unseen, and yet, Netflix describes the movie as 'erotic drama', which compels her to speak on their (survivors) behalf. In her letter, Duffy mentioned that she couldn't imagine how Netflix could overlook the insensitivity and danger the film comes with. Speaking about her own experiences of being trafficked, Duffy revealed that she was lucky to come away with her life, however, many people have not been so lucky.
