    Default Whores' Glory: An excellent documentary about prostitution in 3 different countries

    Mentioned this documentary another thread but wanted to make it it's own.

    Official site: http://www.whoresglory.com

    Trailer:


    You can watch it on Netflix and Hulu Plus.

    The film follows prostitutes in Thailand, Bangladesh, and Mexico. It is so interesting to see how differently it is treated in each country, not just the way the women are but the men as well.

    If you visit the website you can tell the director was really thoughtful in his approach and took this film very seriously, and it shows.

    Let me know what you think!

    This was actually really interesting and kind of sad. Related to parts of it in reference to how customers from different countries view us/treat us.

    i saw the first part of it, but thought it was only going to portray sex work in a negative way and didn't finish it.. i thought ( at first) it would explore escorts/prostitutes all over the world in different cultures and show they aren't all the same as what most people think of as a "whore" maybe i should watch the rest, it wasn't super negative was it?

    I actually felt quite bad for them. It was a nice watch though, just sad IMHO.

    No it wasn't super negative imo, it was portrayed realistically. Prostitutes were treated the worst in Bangladesh, okay in Mexico, and the best in Thailand. Keep in mind too that this is literally prostitution, not the Western "escort" profession that well yes is the same, but realistically is treated very differently.

    There is actually a documentary that came out called "American Courtesan" that attempts to cover escorts in the US, but the trailer was rather negative (I made a thread on this as well). I haven't seen that one. I am hoping that they just used the negative trailer to get viewers and that they are going to give a more well rounded view.

    Anyway, I do think that it is worth watching because although it all isn't sunshine and rainbows in the film, it gives what I think is a fair representation of prostitutes in undeveloped nations and does have some positive stories. I don't think there was any kind of "slant" done by the director I felt that he was very fair.

    Just watched it, great suggestion.

    Also on Netflix, I suggest watching After Porn Ends, a documentary about retired and "retired" porn stars. Although I have to admit, they focused way too much on substance abuse and Jesus for my taste. I did enjoy watching it, though.

    If you guys have HBO they have a late night night section that's interesting. I saw one last week about prostitutes in Hawaii, mainly post and pre-op transvestites, it was a great documentary though but it was old and I don't see it on HBO anymore but they have different ones.

    I loved this documentary! The Bangladeshi section was the most interesting to me- it was like a rabbit-warren of entire families in that complex! And a few weeks after I watched it, my somewhat-straightlaced housemates were watching it, and they agreed it was a very nuanced and well-done film. So good. I wish Netflix had more documentaries like this.

    IKR, those Bangladesh girls weren't playing around. They were really grabby but I felt bad because the Madames were beating their asses and dogging them out. I remember she said one girl had a face like a dog lol. It personally makes me grateful to be born in a country where I have more luxuries and a choice. To them, it's hustle that pussy or go hungry or homeless. Then again I feel like a lot of the cam sites are like a big ole' whore house lol. We all have rooms, and we have to hustle to get paid lol.

    Bump for this thread, but I just watched it on Netflix. Craaazy interesting. Some of those women said some really profound things.

    Very sad. Especially the ones who were being treated like dirt. And the final scene. Don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it but the dialogue in the final scenes and the action taking place was disheartening... as we're the scenes leading up to that.

    The Thailand girls had it the best. I assume those girls were making at least 'decent' money for a woman in Thailand!

    I watched this forever ago, so I don't remember too many of the particulars, other than it was pretty sad. But interesting! Thailand is a weird place. I vacationed in Bangkok a few years ago. The prostitution stuff there was pretty out of control. I was with 3 guys and because we they were Americans, a lot of people just assumed they were sex tourists. I'm sure some of the sex worker girls there are ok and do their thing. But, a ton of them were sold to brothels by their families when they were really, REALLY young. Lots of underage prostitution and sex trafficking there.... I did go to one "strip club" while I was there. (It was more of a brothel.) It was a rather scaring experience. Guys had to pay the mamasan or whoever for a girl and she'd just grab the girl by the arm and drag her over to him screaming, "She give you nice time!! She clean for you!! None of the girls had purses or anything they could conceal $ inside. I don't know how the $ worked, but they def weren't even allowed to touch the cash while I was there. It was a pretty club. But just seemed really grim to me.
