Whores’ Glory

The third and final part of Michael Glawogger’s trilogy on working environments and conditions in the developing world after Megacities, which was screened at the 1st Thessaloniki Documentary Festival and Workingman’s Death (8th TDF), Whores’ Glory is a cinematic triptych on prostitution: three countries, three languages, three religions. In Thailand, women wait for clients behind glass panes, staring at reflections of themselves. In Bangladesh, men go to a ghetto of love to satisfy their unfulfilled desires on indentured girls. And in Mexico, women pray to a female death, Santa Muerte, to avoid facing their own reality. In worlds where the most intimate act has become a commodity, these women have physically and emotionally experienced everything that can happen between a man and a woman. For this they have always received money, but it has not made their lives rich in anything but stories.
