Review of Girls From Cambodia

this is disturbing. little girl voices talking about being sold into brothels with the same tone as if describing chores. It grows bone chilling with each account...the indigestible blurring of prostitution and pedofilia . There is history told, revealing the now seemingly bottomless shelters, ever full of young women and girls seeking respite from a dispicable life. The shelter and crisis organizations have had to become a driving force within the social structure and conscience of an entire country; it's almost like a political movement or conservationist in any other country.
More testimony, perhaps quiet celebration too, of the burning strength and inimitable stamina often required for female survival and their redemption. Produced thoughtfully with unobtrusive narrator and music - generally this is a radio experience that leaves your mouth agape.
