Synopsis
During the last half-century, Cambodia has witnessed genocide, decades of war and the collapse of social order. The documentary looks at an irreparable tragedy that is less visible, yet no less pervasive: the spiritual death that results when young women are forced into prostitution. The film presents stories of poor Asian women whose lives were violated and their destinies destroyed when their bodies were turned into items of sexual commerce.
