I can assert without hesitation that “Whores’ Glory” is the single most interesting documentary I have ever watched – and trust me, I’ve watched a lot of documentaries. The most unique thing about this film is that it is completely unbiased. Meaning, it is filmed and dubbed with subtitles – that’s it. No voiceover, no interview Q&A. It’s just filmed.

Now, don’t let the title of the film turn you off. “Whores’ Glory” is nothing short of genius. It provides a look into the prostitution cultures of Mexico, Thailand, and Bangladesh. The outcome is breathtaking.

This documentary creates an interesting standard: what if we were to examine society void of a lens? What if we were to go into a culture where things are very different from our own, tell a story, and create art through that story – art that is not biased?

To me, “Whores’ Glory” more closely emulates a photograph rather than a film. I understand a photograph to be completely open to the interpretation of the viewer – not laced with words that show clear bias. In this film, aside from subtitles, there are no words. The viewer is able to make of the film what they please.

That’s why it’s so powerful. It’s not a PSA. It’s a cultural study. And when you view the film, it becomes glaringly obvious that the cultures are extremely different. It presents this idea of how sex that is sold is perceived in each of the respective societies.

As an individual that has extensively studied and researched sex trafficking around the world, Whores’ Glory presented me with a new perspective: arguably, no perspective at all.

I highly recommend this film, as it is as jarring as it is hauntingly beautiful.
