Why do documentaries about prostitution have to include a commentary about AIDS?
31 August 2008
This is in response to the previous review made about this film. Okay, I can see that you had difficulties from a technical perspective, but to finish your review with a question asking why there was no coverage about AIDS, reveals your ignorance and prejudice against sex workers. This is a documentary about young girls who are coerced into the sex trade, and although AIDS is an issue, it is just as much of an issue for any other person out there who is having sex with multiple partners.

Would not a scene about AIDS be just as "staged" as you say the scene with the mother who got the phone call was?

Who are you to criticize a film that is trying to raise awareness about a critical issue in society? Much less a film that sensitively reveals a harsh predicament that most people could never understand or fully empathize with.

It seems like some people never learn no matter how many documentaries they see...
