- Summary
- Deep in the uncharted world of sex trafficking in Southeast Asia, four women's strikingly different stories are pieced together to reveal an institution that enslaves as many as forty million women worldwide. Through their shocking, video-taped testimonies, Burmese prostitutes initiate Western audiences to the widespread corruption and staggering poverty that are the status quo in much of the world, and the primary causes behind the fastest-growing industry on earth. Often traveling to restricted areas to meet their subjects, Ferraro and her crew devised a strategy for disguising the true nature of their visits. "Our whole disguise was tacky tourists. Despite these efforts, Burmese officials detained Ferraro's group twice -- each time paralyzing the filmmaking team with fear. Ferraro gained a deeper understanding of the victims of the Myanmar sex trade and the social structures that supported it.
