*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
In all fairness it was a very long time since I saw this movie, but I'm trying to locate it now, because it made a very deep impact on me when it was aired on Swedish TV.
There seem to be some confusion about what this documentary is really about and not surprisingly the debate following the movies release was totally misdirected, and ended up being about weather the filmmaker was a perverted man or not, instead of dealing with the real issue.
This documentary deals with a very important issue: namely inequality and how rich countries exploit poor countries. It is however not, as the plotwriter formulated, a movie exclusively about sex tourism. What Hållender is out to prove is how Swedish companies forces women in the baltic into prostitution by moving their factories to these less wealthy countries and still not paying satisfactory wages. He illustrates this by having sex with the women he is interviewing at the end of the movie (who by the way are not prostitutes).
This is a very strong documentary and the rating here on IMDb only shows that most of the people who've watched it totally misunderstood it.
