This was a very powerful and engaging documentary which had me hooked from beginning to end. Thailand holds much beauty but also plenty of mystery and sadness and Clark delves into the latter and the role foreigners have played in heightening this sadness.
Pla, a young Thai girl, serves as his guide and as the film progresses Clark gradually peels away the various layers of her life and learn how she ended up with the life she has and why thousands more will likely end up in the same position.
I would definitely recommend checking out this great doc. Although it's tragic and heartbreaking it is also an amazing eye opener into a topic which has seldom been explored.
