@karlsmith00 You really are about 14 years old aren't you? So full of piss and so angry. It makes me wonder what could have happened to you that got you to this state. If you're one of the girls in this film, my condolences. But if you read carefully, my only concern is making a better film that reaches more people. This ain't it. Sorry to be so blunt, but it's true. You somehow convinced yourself that I'm male and somehow involved - don't know where you got that info. I'm just a film producer.

@karlsmith00 Unable to have a rational conversation, you rely on ad hominem attack and baseless accusations to make yourself feel better. With your grammar and spelling skills I can only assume you're an opinionated high school student somewhere in the midwest. Go learn how adults speak to each other. You're embarrassing yourself and scream to world you're a silly twit with the mental capacity of a small, unwashed soap dish.

@karlsmith00 You seem to misunderstand the concept of ad hominem, as you continue unabated. There are always two sides to every story and finding a girl who claims she likes it, a pimp who doesn't see a problem, or any other individual with a different viewpoint would have made this a better film. It's one sided and boring. You seem like an incredibly angry person, easy to lash out at perceived slights. I hope you're not this way in real life. Try yoga.

@karlsmith00 You're wrong, face it. It's not an investigation. If it were better made it would have more than 845 views after being up two months.
If you disagree, fine, but to insult me with assumption and ad hominem attack is kind of weirdly bitter. You don't know me. My goal is to get the message out also. The filmmaker can recut and I hope she does. No one is paying attention and that's a problem.

If countries like the United Sates and many others in the EU wants to help the people abroad in reality, why don`t they help these victims who are in desperate need to have it.
Its major problem across the globe and big lords are involved in this blood-Business. Depressing very depressing.!!

@ritabarcar Gosh Rita, think about it: If the director had found a girl who claimed to enjoy the life and interviewed her - then juxtaposed her against one who hated it, the film could have delicious irony and would be much more interesting. More people would watch it and pass it along. The message would get out.
I am commenting on the film's structure. It's wanting. How does that make me a prick who "makes this happen?" I don't get it.
