What I'm Watching #41

A bit of a film afternoon/evening here...

And this documentary from the Czech Republic mesmerizes.

It takes a group of about 20 young men (14 to 19) who are prostitutes on the streets of Prague and allows them to speak. To share their stories. To respond to common themes: What was your first time like? What are you afraid of? What do you want to become?

The answers are both poignant and profound. The furtive glances, the averted eyes, the defiance and the innocence, firmly establishes the correctness of the film's title. If this is my last post, I have sold everything and moved to Prague to establish a safe house to young run-aways.....
