You won't waste your time watching it, especially if you are watching it on TV and you are able to do other stuff while it is on. It does a decent profile of GEMS. It gives us an idea of how messed up our court system is when they convict underage hookers instead of treating them as victims of sexual abuse. But no interviews with prosecutors or legislators of why this is so.
The documentary should have been titled GEMS because it really offers no fresh insight into why these girls turn away from their families in the first place? Yeah, we know the father figure aspect of these pimps attracts them to the profession in the first place. But why were they for the taking? No real insightful interviews with the mothers of these kids were done.
It would have been nice to have seen what it took for Rachel Lloyd to set up her non profit to give us an idea why more of these non profits do not exist.
There was one girl who expressed an interest in becoming an archaeologist, travel to England. The doc really dropped the ball in explaining why someone like this, with good grades, would even be in the position of being approached by a pimp and why she was so quick to fall for his persuasive powers.
It should have been a 45 min to one hour doc at most profiling GEMS.
