This is a sort of film I never expected to be made in Malaysia - a sympathetic view of prostitutes (especially transvestites) as they ply their trade and face harassment. Some parts are a bit melodramatic and the lighting could have been brighter (then again, maybe things were dim on purpose?) but there is a strong sense of purpose and community here. Kudos to director Osman and his team. I'd love to see the reaction if this is ever aired on our oh-so-proper TV channels!
