Anonymously Yours / Film
Deep in the uncharted world of sex trafficking in Southeast Asia, four women’s strikingly different stories are pieced together to reveal an institution that enslaves as many as forty million women worldwide. From the backrooms of teashops and restaurants, to five star hotels, the Far East sex trade thrives on the routine merchandising of women for the sexual escape and pleasure of men from all cultures.
Filmed in Myanmar (formerly Burma), Anonymously Yours exposes a ubiquitous barter of children and women, which supplies a demand so great that the hunt for girls to stock brothels often spills into neighboring countries seeking girls as young as eight.
Discussion follows with filmmaker, Gayle Ferraro.
