TITS and ASS ... When you ask Tim 'Sharky' Ward what he does for a living that's the general response you will get. Sharky is a real life pimp. He's an New Zealand born Aussie now living in Pattaya - the epicentre of Thailand's sex tourism industry. Sharky originally went to Pattaya to get cheap steroids and budget shags. But he loved it so much - he stayed - turning his sleazery into a full time job. With more than 65,000 Facebook likes and 45,000 twitter followers, he's a popular guy with influence. But you can't ignore that he might be exploiting young women and promoting what many would deem disgusting behaviour. Sharky rarely gives interviews but The Feed's Patrick Abboud talked his way into tagging along for a night out in the dirtiest part of town. Just a warning this story contains content that some might find offensive.

American Call-Girl: Sex for Sale

Documentary.net staff — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:44:15 +0000

The world’s oldest profession is now a thriving black market economy, with an underground workforce that’s just an Internet connection and a phone call away. Mariana van Zeller journeys to the heart of the American escort industry and uncovers the gritty reality behind the supply and demand of high-end sex work. Television has glamorised it and the internet has made it accessible, thrusting the world’s oldest profession into the 21st Century, but behind closed doors it still remains as dangerous as ever. With many street workers trapped in an increasingly violent and abusive underworld. Mariana heads to Las Vegas, ground zero for the escort underworld. Here, high-end escorts like Sarah explain how they cultivate their illegal business online. As an independent escort, Sarah calls the shots and commands big money from clients. Yet for many women, a much different reality awaits. Las Vegas Vice Detective Chris Baughman is on his way to investigate another pimp. He says that the image of glamour and luxury that high-end escorts project is a part of the problem. For the majority of men, "what they're getting isn't some knockout that lives in a penthouse, that saves all her money and has the little toy poodle. It's the same girl that's getting beat. That's being threatened." His mission: to dismantle the Las Vegas sex industry -- one pimp at a time. Not far from the bright lights and bustle of the Las Vegas strip, Mariana sits hidden in a van in a parking lot beneath a highway overpass. She is investigating an office building that houses call centers for dozens of escort agencies. These agencies send girls to hotel rooms for private lap dances, and as long as they don't advertise prostitution, they're protected by free speech laws. We can't get the agencies to talk to us, so we go undercover to learn what's really going on behind closed doors.

Ida’s Choice – Trying To Survive in Red Light District

Documentary.net staff — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:25:37 +0000

Ida is a young woman trying to survive in Chow Kit, which is also known as Kuala Lumpur's red light district. She is about to turn 18 and is concerned about the welfare of her twin sister, her mother and her future. The pressure of poverty, drugs and position surround her but she sets her hopes on a united family, work and love. This charming, coming-of-age film follows her steps into adulthood through all the complications of her young life. Filmmaker Justin Ong:

As Malaysia marches towards its goal of achieving first world status by the year 2020, we have seen a massive facelift for commercial areas of Kuala Lumpur with skyscrapers, monorails and fancy shopping malls popping up all over downtown. But in the race towards development, some facets of our society have been left behind. Barely a 15-minute walk from Malaysia’s iconic Twin Towers is Chow Kit, the notorious red light district where generation after generation of sex workers and drug addicts live. Most of the children in Chow Kit are on a constant fight for survival as they are exposed on a daily basis to the temptations of drug pushers and pimps. When we met Ida, we felt that she was the perfect choice for the main character of our story. She and her twin sister, Ina, were born to a sex worker and have no idea who their father is. They were given up for adoption at birth and have no relationship with their biological mother. They struggled through their childhood, forced to grow up too soon without having a stable family unit to count on. This is revealed in the difficulty that Ida has in establishing a trusting relationship with people around her. The film’s narrative is driven by Ida’s quest to change her ways and how she deals with the obstacles that she faces. We are invited into her life and her personal space as we get an intimate portrayal of the lives of teenagers in the Red Light District. The film explores the devastating effects of growing up in a Red Light District and how it affects one’s psyche and emotional state. But through the making of the film, we also discovered that it has not diminished Ida’s dreams of a better life and a better future. But is Ida’s will for change enough for her to really rise above her circumstances? Or is there truly no hope for Ida? We hope this film encourages debate on what it means to be a truly developed nation and renews focus on the plight of children in forgotten corners of our society. After all, our children are the keys to our future.

Prostitutes of God

Documentary.net staff — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 09:21:48 +0000

We travel deep into the remote villages and towns of Southern India to uncover an ancient system of religious sex slavery dating back to the 6th century. Although the practice was made illegal more than 20 years ago, we discover there are still more than 23,000 women in the state of Karnataka selling their bodies in the name of the mysterious Hindu Goddess Yellamma. They are known as Devadasis, or ‘servants of God’. From city red light districts to rural mud huts, we meet proud brothel madams, HIV positive teenage prostitutes, and gay men in saris. Our intimate exploration into the life of the Devadasi reveals a pseudo-religious system that exploits poverty-stricken families to fuel modern India’s booming sex trade.

Sex Slaves

There are an estimated 1.4 million sex slaves in the world today; most of them are women, although there are some men and many thousands of children. These women do not voluntarily enter prostitution, but have been forced under the threat of violence to have sex with men who pay their "owners".

"They didn't listen. They kept bringing me clients and telling me that I had a huge debt towards them. For the fact they paid for my visa, passport and tickets." Dorina, a former sex slave from Moldova

Sex slavery is present in every country of the world. In some cases, categorised as "domestic", women are sold into brothels within their own country. But international sex trafficking of women and children is on the rise. Rageh Omaar investigates the enslavement and trafficking of women from Moldova, the poorest country in Europe, to wealthier European countries, in particular to the red light district of Amsterdam, one of Europe's most profitable sex markets and a major international tourist attraction.

Taiwan: Sex in the City – Legal Prostitution

Documentary.net staff — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:12:38 +0000

Prostitution is set to be legal in Taiwan by the end of this year despite heated public debate. In July, the Taiwanese parliament passed a controversial draft bill allowing the establishment of red light districts. The bill allows sex to be sold openly in designated 'special sex trade' zones but will punish offenders outside of these zones. Regulating and managing the industry is creating fiery public debate and although 75 per cent of Taiwanese support a more liberal approach to prostitution, it appears no one wants it in their 'own backyard'. All 22 local government mayors have spoken out against introducing legal red light districts in their cities.
