There are organisations that work hard to combat commercial sexual exploitation of children. I used to work for one called ECPAT International, based in Bangkok. They have offices all over the world on all continents. Look them up and see how you can help. This situation is heart-breaking and so unfair!
This is so heartbreaking. The scene when Tao is talking about his mom who died in a car accident made me cry. You can tell he's trying so hard to hold it together. It's so sick and wrong how these poor children are being exploited. Of course prostitution is always sad but to see such young children who are supposed to be innocent and protected from this kind of life is so heart-wrenching. The world is just so cruel and unfair.
This is absolutely disgusting! People, ESPECIALLY children, should NEVER have to be forced into a life like this. People speak about prostitutes, and they either laugh, make jokes, or are disgusted. THIS is prostitution- desperation, numbness, devastation. You can only imagine- it must be a walking, living hell.
The Thai people seem so easy to be around and laidback iv fallen in love with the country and the people. So Beautiful...but poor so pretty much anything go's(pro's,drugs,weapons,scams ect without police interferance if you dont cause problems. The govt. or police occasionally arrest and parade infront of the media a pedophile or drug smuggler but unfortunately they dont have a hope in hell of stopping either.. Those boys stories make me want to weep. Wish there was SOMETHING i could do.
those people who booked them n had sex with these underage guys are disgusting.... they're exploiting these kids for their short happiness n satisfactions.. i hope thai gov will do something about this...
Why do we always here about starving animals that have mistreated when there are people suffering in other countries!? Don't get me wrong. I like animals and help them when I can, but why must all the commercials for helping something be about animals? There are young children out there starving and resorting to horrible measures to survive.
Why on earth is there male prostitutes? This is sad..i cried when i saw one of them has a girlfriend! can you imagine he has been doing this for 3 years? whereas many of us don't appreciate what we have..
I feel sad for these boys, what has humanity come upon? all this boys are human so as us, why should money be a reason for them to be exploited and used.
i feel so sorry for tao. he asked for none of this. his mom passed away and yet his father asked him to prostitute himself. sometimes we need to do a reality check and realise how lucky we are to be watching this video in the comfort of our seats.
And now, the Thai authorities know who to look for, what they look like and where to look. At the same time, messed up people from US flock to Thai to find them 'hook a bait'. Thanks brah.
The even sadder thing is that it's not just these few boys... There are many me them and girls too, all around the world. :( we need to help these children
Did those guys actually helped them or give them money once they have had them filmed? or did they just left, letting them prostitute even though they know what is going on..?
Te is a talented dancer, and Bank has got the looks of a celebrity. They are people who will probably treasure any opportunities given to them for them to live their dreams more than any of us do.
If only I have the ability, my dream is to fulfill theirs.
I think the point of asking if he loved his mother or vice versa was more for a stronger story. To depict his emotions on a more drastic level. It may have been harsh on the poor boy, but in a certain way, it'll make the audience more aware.
Many people, men and women alike, have terribly indecent fantasies, and ones with minors, or, pedophilia, is common. It's sad, but it's common.
There are many things inhuman about humans. We can each only change, starting by the man in the mirror.
why would the fuck would people want male prostitutes? They are just kids with dreams. Oh my fucking god why did you create the people who fuck small boys? When is Thailand going to do a thing about their sexual education? Transsexuality? Homosexuality? Pedophiles? Fuck their ministry of sex, man! Fuck you!
@NeoTranshuman So you suggest banning prostitution, which will facilitate an underground industry a thousand times more dangerous? When has banning everything ever worked?
I highly disagree with you. The conversation is meant to understand the reason and each participant's background. Since when asking about the relationship with parents are rude? You have to take cultural differences into account when analyzing this film. To not ask about such sensitive questions is a disservice to the film. As you know,some parents ask the boys to prostitute and bring in the money, so my questions whether the parents love the boy or not was well valid.
@ohmxo I will agree to disagree then. If I were the conductor, I would avoid pushing anyone's emotional boundaries just because they are already hurt, but that's just my personal opinion.
It's true.. it's happening in Thailand. Used to work in Phuket n met many young male prostitutions.. their parents force them to earn money by selling their body.. sad:((
Hey, whoever that is involved in this film-making, I just want to say that y'all have done a really good job :) Hope to see more of this kind of films.
i realized that we cant point fingers here to whose to blame why this happened to them. Because consumers (which is us) pay the big boss(es) for our convienience while these kids experience slavery (its an invisible chain of inhumanity) argh! I wanna slap my iPad back to apple!
@angeltheya12 Nah that's nonsense and not how an economy works. There are two factors that cause child prostitution in these countries. 1. Little to no sustainable economic resources or educated workforce 2. Extreme corruption in government and society. This is not being caused by iPads.
This is one of the saddest things I have ever seen. It's also sickening to know that there is a "target market" out in the world made up of disgusting individuals who solicit these poor young boys/children.
My heart breaks for these kids. I really hope this film does well and it brings attention to the issues of child prostitution in Thailand so that more will and can be done to help alleviate the problem. Hope the film gets picked up by a big distributor and goes far. Would love to see it in it's entirety.
:( Thank you for showing us what the real world out there is. We live such comfortable lives, seeing videos on internet and having education and all. But these boys, at such young age, make big sacrifices to earn a living..
Can't see a boy crying, it breaks my heart (big time), but this is a beautifully craft documentary. I hope it gets proper distribution and many awards besides a good social reaction. Good job, Ohm!
