The Canadian police force breaks into a whorehouse and arrests the brothel security guys, pimps and prostitutes. The very young girl `Joy' calls the attention of the detective in charge of the investigation. He approaches to her and after some talking, she starts telling him the misadventure of he life, since when her own father sold her to the brothel in Manila (Philippines), the loss of the virginity for an old and fat client, her regular customers and the incidents including murder in the brothel. The detective tries to convince her to testify against the responsible for the whorehouse. Although the plot is based on true facts, this movie is not a documentary, but indeed a powerful drama. I believe the intention of Jim Purdy was to show what happens with young girls from Third World countries (in this movie, Canton, Vietnam, Philippines, and other Third World countries, `the whore United Nations' as referred by one whore when having breakfast with the others). There are many mobs in the world kidnapping or buying children including for prostitution and the First World Nations close their eyes and let it go. The sad story and end of Joy (I believe this nickname was a joke) belong to a countless number of children in the world. My vote is eight.
