Ballywood Nightmares

One of my clients has a piece about Aids and the sex trade in India showing on Thursday, June 24th on PBS Frontline World. Check here for local listings. I've seen some of the raw tapes and it's a chilling story. Little girls sold by their fathers and indoctrinated into a life of prostitution and slavery. Most of these girls have aids or hiv. The men who seek them out refuse to wear condoms even when they know the dangers and thus spread the disease to their families and villages.

If you're watching know that I'll be watching too. We are having an airing gathering on Thursday night. If you're in the neighborhood you wanna come?
