Storyline
WHORES' GLORY is a cinematic triptych on prostitution: three countries, three languages, three religions. In Thailand, women wait for clients behind glass panes, staring at reflections of themselves. In Bangladesh, men go to a ghetto of love to satisfy their unfulfilled desires on indentured girls. And in Mexico, women pray to a female death to avoid facing their own reality. In worlds where the most intimate act has become a commodity, these women have physically and emotionally experienced everything that can happen between a man and a woman. For this they have always received money, but it has not made their lives rich in anything but stories. Written by The Match Factory

Many of us tend to forget how lucky we really are living like we do, having the opportunities we have. This documentary is a powerful way to remember it. For once, a documentary about prostitution that can be compassionate without being condescending. A must watch.
