Whores' Glory

2011 · 110 min

An unflinching, quietly devastating observational gaze into lives of transactional intimacy, hard to shake and harder to look away from.

Genres
Documentary
Starring
Emma, Ning, Toh
Overview
In Bangkok, Thailand, women punch a clock and wait for clients in a brightly lit glass box; in the red-light district of Faridpur, Bangladesh, a madam haggles over the price of a teenage girl; and in the border town of Reynosa, Mexico, crack-addicted women pray to a deity named Lady Death.
How it feels
Bleak, melancholic, dark and earnest. Slow-burning and demanding.
About
Class, power, survival, isolation
Content
Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
