Everyone's favorite TV slant-eye up and decides that she wants a bunch
of preteen curry eaters to mush her sushi and thus fucks off to some
dank Indian brothel in search thereof. Apparently she doesn't find any
suitable brown meat and so [LOLSPOILER]returns home sans girl slaves
[/LOLSPOILER], though she does buy some of the girls a sewing machine,
apparently to sew their cunt flaps shut? *shrug*
Thars sum qt lil whorelets here 'n' there, tho w/ some face blurring
so that if their madame is having tea tiem w/ Oprah one fine day she
doesn't recognize 'em and spares 'em a whoopin I guess, or what the fuck?
Anywhoooo, here's some bullshit from the New York Times about it written
by some cunt called Fucking Susan who--for reasons that remain mysteriously
unexplained--thinks that this "story" (lul soh it's fiction nao?) is spr sad:
"For her second documentary under the 'Who Cares About Girls?' banner,
the globetrotting journalist Lisa Ling takes on child prostitution.
'Slave Girls of India,' to be shown on the Oxygen channel tomorrow night,
has all the elements you might expect from the combustible combination of
Ms. Ling and a story about suffering and injustice: hidden cameras,
horrifying statistics and emotional close-ups, many of Ms. Ling herself.
"There are more than 60 million child laborers in India, she tells us
from New Delhi, where she begins by chatting up a tiny, beautiful street
vendor.
"'Are you in school?' Ms. Ling asks the girl.
"A nearby woman responds, 'What will she eat then?' The fact is that the
girl's parents, unable to support their daughter, much less educate her,
have sent her to the city to make a living.
"Soon Ms. Ling is showing us worse situations: girls who work 16-hour days
as house servants. Underscoring her point, time-lapse photography documents
a child doing housework as a clock ticks the hours away. Viewers familiar
with Ms. Ling -- at 16, she was the host of a nationally syndicated show for
teenagers -- might wonder if her feelings about child labor have something
to do with her own biography.
"The India story becomes only sadder: Ms. Ling tells us that there are half
a million 'sex slaves' in India, and that the average age of a prostitute
is 14.
"Much of the hour is devoted to the efforts of Rinku, a 19-year-old who was
a prostitute from age 11 to 15. She would 'cry like a madwoman,' she remembers.
'But nobody came.'
"Finally someone did: members of a rescue group. Rinku was saved and went to work
for the group, and now administers a cheery halfway house for rescued girl
prostitutes. Scenes of these children jumping rope contrast with tense shots of
brothel raids in which Ms. Ling takes part.
"At one point she goes undercover and is shown young girls in a brothel. 'Really
good baby beauty,' the madam says, describing one. (The brief statements by
Indians here, seen as subtitles, are the most concise and powerful words in
this report.)
"In the end some girls are rescued, while others' fates seem undecided. To help
two sisters earn legitimate wages, Ms. Ling buys them a sewing machine.
"'As journalists,' she says, 'we try not to get involved in the stories we cover.'
"Ms. Ling has never tried very hard; her specialty is dramatic, heart-on-the-sleeve
advocacy journalism. It is an approach that causes discomfort to reporters schooled
against coloring facts with their own emotions or changing them with their actions.
"But in an era of ubiquitous cameras and proliferating news media outlets, it's
harder than ever to determine when a reporter is stepping over the line, or where,
in fact, the line is. Ms. Ling's style may be troubling, but at least it is
transparent."

notes
This shit was capped in SD off of an Oxygen Channel broadcast (I guess Oprah wants some
of them there slave girls of her own) onto a DVDR, then converted to XviD. Ads have been
stripped out (as have the end credits, since they had ads and were so squished by said
ads as to be illegible anyway..though about a second of said credits have been left in
so you can see for yourself), and channel logo watermark has been blurred the fuck out
(teh blurrin' actually goes swimmingly w/ teh blurring of the faces throughout the docu).
Quality is downright pissfuck pathetic, but it'll have to do for now since I didn't find
it available anywhere else on teh intertubes ( there's a 7min clip from an alternate version
of the docu on teh ol' jewtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU7E3-ziOJY ). There has
also been a DVD release a couple years back
( http://www.amazon.com/Slave-Girls-India-Lisa-Ling/dp/B004FN265A/ ), so an upgrade would
be much appreciated INDEED (Amazon lists a runtime of 50 minutos which, if accurate, would
also mean that it's 6 1/2 minutes longer than this TVRip as well).
Oh and yeah this was technically part of a three part series, but seeing as how it's been
rlsed on DVD separately as a stand alone docu, BootlegCal gave it the green light in teh
chats (++ he's currently AWOL in Curry Land tryin' to break into the girl trade, so I guess
it was relevant to his interests).
Share this film on other trackers, usenet, ed2k, and everywhere else.
Spread the moofies like AIDS!
