Set in the small village of Svay Pak, Cambodia… which is arguably the worst place in the world for child sex trafficking… The Pink Room follows the journey of Mien in the turbulent world of sex slavery that at times seems unfathomable. At a young age, she enters life in a brothel, and her virginity is sold at a high price. Even when help is within reach, obstacles that appear too great to conquer squelch her dream of freedom. The Pink Room is a story of ordinary people who become heroes, Cambodians rising up to take back their country and a town’s process of rebuilding from the inside out. In a world where it is estimated that there are over one million children held captive and sexually abused, a flower blooms in the heart of Cambodia.
