Sensitive, disturbing and depressing documentary about child prostitutes in Seattle.

The images which remain are not so much of the children themselves, but of the inadequacy of their parents: the convict father who non-communicates with his son in the platitudes of soap opera, the alcoholic mother who thinks prostitution is "just a phase" her 13 year-old daughter is going through. A rare, unsensational insight into a worldwide, fast-increasing social problem.
