You know, these young women are not "diamonds in the rough", they ARE DIAMONDS period, who have been raped, abused and exploited by men.
It's not a profession. Fourteen year old girls do not have a profession. The are children.
Also, the men who bring them into the life of prostitution are not "older persuasive men", they are predators.
It's so amazing to me how even the most dire problems of our community continue to be glamorized. Can I please request that you take a moment to speak truthfully about this subject (and the film)and try to refrain from using euphemisms just because they sound pretty.
Child prostitution occurs in this country daily and there really is nothing glamorous about it.
Best.
You've already said it better than I ever could, so THANK YOU!
