Girl Model - Trailer

In rural Siberia, Russian and American model scouts scour remote villages in search of teenage girls to satisfy the Japanese market's unquenchable thirst. For poor, pretty farm girls, the promise of work abroad signifies the rare chance for a new life. David Redmon and Ashley Sabin's provocative documentary explores this dark, seldom-seen segment of the modeling industry through two primary subjects.

Ashley used to be a model in the United States. Now she's a professional scout who is conflicted over the fact that her livelihood depends on recruiting the youngest girls possible based on promises that aren't always realized. Nadya is a 13-year-old country girl from Novosibirsk, Siberia, who embodies the particular kind of youthful innocence so highly sought-after in Japan. Hoping to help support her tight-knit family, she travels to Tokyo, but once there, she finds the frustrating reality of how jobs are booked is much different from what she expected.

Strikingly composed, Girl Model follows its subjects through a frustrating maze of casting sessions, clashes and contradictions. Redmon and Sabin juxtapose video diaries that Ashley recorded from her years as a model with her current life as a scout, revealing the precariousness and complexities of the business from both sides of the coin. As Nadya and the other young girls like her find themselves lost in a harrowing hall of mirrors, will they learn to navigate the modeling world, or wind up returning home in debt to their agencies?

This is so fucking horrifying!

I can't barely believe that these kinds of things happen in the same world that I live in. How can this Ashley look herself in the eye, when playing such an significant role in the abuse of these poor girls? I mean she’s from America, she most likely never experienced poverty and yet she makes her income on these little girl’s behalf, when clearly she knows that it’s unethical and that they suffer. How can people be so ignorant!?

There is a bunch of morons like that woman called Ashley Sabin, that travels to Siberia, specially to the most poors region to recruit very innocent young girls. The people responsable for this video are making a big bussines profits in the name of these unexperienced, poor very young girls, selling films and others things...and God knows what these films are about????. Not only about modeling, of course!. These morons are making profits on the suffering of others!.
