if u need some back for the claim i will make below and ill tell u i have live and study in thailand for 4 year and i have a thai wife and i have know many bar girl and some of whom do the job for a lack of a good choice but still out of free choice and some who do not even want to consider different choice because they be contempt with what they do . in thai society prostitution be illegal but it have long root and a strong frame in the history and culture and the job of a prostitute be consider a low one but they be still a completely accepted part of the society . the life some woman and like the character pla in this document live be normal for these people . yes and it be not just good or bad but normal here and no matter what we think of it in the west . i know the girl work in the bar a this one in the document be free to leave any time they want for another job . but they often do not want and because in this job they make 10 time the same money with less effort . any other job would decrease their living standard too much so they go for the money . i have live and stay with poor thai people and who be not and do not want to be prostitute . thay be student or factory worker and i have stay in their in lousy shack and 8 square room eat the street food and and though i be not use to it and cant say i enjoy it and for them it be normal and i know they have be contempt with what they have . the bar girl be not contempt with that or they want to send more money home for the parent and or save up money so they go and sell themselves or just entertain some foreigner to get more money . so even if the choice be not good and there be a choice for everyone of them ( in bar like the one feature in this film ) . thats just a choice between a hard life with your pride or get more money with less pride . now to the point representthis film be very sad indeed . not because the story be sad but because sadly there be no story . not because the filmatography or any other artistic feature be so convincing but because of the lack of anything convince . like others have point out here the director obviously have nothing together before shoot this poor film except average camera and edit skill and his prejudice and stereotypical view of the issue and what he would get together . and thats exactly what he try to carry on to the viewer a well represent he be ask the girl direct personal question to get the answer he want . what be suppose to look like care about her problem or listening to her fall apart with his condescend attitude towards the culture and the girl profession and life . with the attitude and style and language the girl be interview with and she be not give an option or possibility to explain anything about her real thought . what have happen here be that the girl get annoy with the film maker ( i would have ) and the film maker frustrate because the girl do not answer what he expect . after his few week holiday in thailand money run out and the director pack his bag and go home with nothing . thats the obvious reason for the fraud end and the claimed murder of the girl and to get some drama and twist and an end to his story . if this serve a something and that be a an example of what document be not suppose to be . i can not believe this have actually be air in full length on some self respect network or station . a document be suppose to look at the real nature of thing and openly present them to the viewer instead of reproduce old idea and clichés and lying and control the subject to impose a wanted effect on them . that be call propaganda and in this case ethnocentric and bandwagon propaganda .
