No, SaltyC, they didn't. But they weren't kind about the pimp or the john's, either. And there was not victim blaming, no contempt for the sex slaves.
I was reading some of the letters to Frontline and came across this one. If I weren't a hetero, I think I would have fallen in love with this lady.
Dear FRONTLINE,
It is so cathartic for us Americans to feel that we are the world's saviors, taking the moral high ground, rushing to the rescue. Yes, this is a terrible, terrible problem. But the problem also exists in "our beloved U.S."
What about the 15,000 women and young girls (not teenagers--girls) who are trafficked into sex slavery in the U.S. every year and being pimped out of surburban houses and city apartments where they are forced to live under subhuman conditions and service 10-15 men daily? Why don't you show your viewers who is fing those women and girls? Too close for comfort? Project it on the third world.
