“The India story becomes only sadder: Ms. Ling tells us that there are half a million “sex slaves” in India, and that the average age of a prostitute is 14.
Much of the hour is devoted to the efforts of Rinku, a 19-year-old who was a prostitute from age 11 to 15. She would “cry like a madwoman,” she remembers. “But nobody came.”
Finally someone did: members of a rescue group. Rinku was saved and went to work for the group, and now administers a cheery halfway house for rescued girl prostitutes. Scenes of these children jumping rope contrast with tense shots of brothel raids in which Ms. Ling takes part.”
