I just saw the movie at the Harvard Film Archive and the director Hurbert Sauper was there. Not only was this a very touching film it was also great to hear from the director as to why and in what ways he made the film, along with some of his motives behind it. It is not a traditional documentary in the sense that he really lets the characters do the narrating. On a side note, one of the prostitutes who was killed by an Austrailian is supposedly going to be prosecuted (not definitely but a politician in Austrailia is trying to prosecute) as a result of this film, in addition Austrailia is trying to set up a law whereby Austrailians who commit crimes in other countries can be tried at home, just one unexpected precedent already started as a result of this film. Again a great documentary that I hope gets more notoriety in the states.
