Somaly

in development since 2010, set in Cambodia

The project has been selected for a prestigious training scheme, Crossing Borders 2011, organised by the European Documentary Network.

Somaly Mam escaped from life in prostitution and is now at the forefront of the combat against sex trafficking in Cambodia. The film portrays Somaly and follows the path of two girls rescued from prostitution, recovering from the trauma, gaining confidence through learning new skills. It is a story about their struggle that starts when media coverage normally ends. This film is inevitably about Cambodia, a country that is painfully beautiful, desperately poor and is still recovering from its monstrous past.

A teaser is available upon request.

Shortlisted for World View Live Pitch Funding by One World Media in 2010
