The Pink Room

This was an okay low-budget documentary about brothels in Cambodia, specifically the Svay Pak village. It would've been much easier to swallow if it wasn't for the self-righteous Christians who run AGAPE/ARC and used this as a propaganda piece.

Bad enough these girls have been preyed on by pedophiles, then to get taken in and converted to Christianity, one can't help but feel it's just exploitation under a different guise.

For a better view, check out the movie Holly, which has no religious agenda behind it and is much more satisfying from a story-telling perspective.

This is a great documentary to help understand the world of human trafficking. If you get an opportunity, watch it. You will forever be changed by watching this powerful and well put together show. The summary is: After selling herself at fourteen to a brothel inside her home town of Svay Pak, Mien takes an undesired path all over Cambodia for the remainder of her teenage life. At twenty, her path crosses with a group of people fighting to make a difference, bringing her long and onerous journey back to face where it all began. The Pink Room is an intertwined story of the heart-rending, epic battle to end sex slavery, from rescue to prevention, and experiencing first hand, the need to change not just individuals, but the communities they come from. Most documentaries on trafficking only bring awareness to the problem. This film bring awareness to the solutions.
