Sacrifice (1998)
Director: Ellen Bruno, Hseng Noung Litner
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An unusual and impressive documentary on the plight of young girls from the Burmese hill tribes, seduced away from their villages in alarming numbers to the fleshpots of Thailand. Most have no conception of what awaits them. Bruno gets remarkably frank, moving interviews from the girls, and frames the film as a poetic, impressionistic essay - video images seldom look this evocative.Author: TCh
