The Island (2005) - disturbing movie

TLDR: Video clip below.
This movie is about a company that makes clones of people and keeps them locked up in a compound for the purpose of harvesting their organs. Each clone corresponds to a client (the original human, in the outside world) and the service is used by rich people. The clones can be used in cases of emergency, but they can also be used to extend a client's life to allow them to live "60 to 70 years longer." This operation is a secret from the world, as the company claims that the organs are cultivated on an inanimate organic mass (and they give false tours to potential clientele).
The compound is located in an underground missile silo, however there is a giant digital hologram around the compound, which creates a simulation of the outside world. The clones are basically hypnotized into believing that the outside world has somehow been contaminated by pathogens and they were rescued and are being kept safe in the compound. There is however, one safe area in the outside world called "The Island" and a lottery is occasionally held to determine who gets to go there. In actuality, the lottery is used a pretext to remove an individual from population so as to harvest his organ(s) and subsequently euthanize him.
In the below clip, the protagonist of the movie, suspicious of the workings of the compound, takes advantage of a security hole and ventures into an area of the bunker he's never seen before and witnesses what actually happens to the lottery "winners." Although most clones are exploited for their organs, you'll see that the purpose of the female clone in the clip below is a bit different.
Despite the fact that the movie has a disturbing premise, it's actually kind of a black comedy. It wasn't a good movie, per se, but definitely something you might want to indulge in.

Is there a torrent? I'd like to watch it.
