- Summary
- Every year in Nepal, 12,000 girls are sent to work in brothels all over India. Tin Girls is a 55 minute documentary exposing the trade of women and girls for prostitution in Nepal and India. This film explores the intricacies of the markets that support the economy of the sex trade. It presents the story of Bimala who returned to Nepal after years of sex-slavery in India. Tin Girls, one of the Valor Humano (Human Value) series of documentaries produced by Canal Plus, was first inspired by the magazine feature When No Means Never Again, written by Chelo Alvarez with the help of Anjana Shakya, President of HimRights, and published by Planeta Humano magazine, Spain.
