Airdate: Sex in Seoul

Now that we have your attention…

SBS tonight premieres Sex in Seoul, a two part doco on the sex trade in Seoul, including sex-trafficking secrets and the young women it exploits.

Eddie and Jason, two Korean-American brothers get in over their heads when they are called to Korea to make a short film on prostitution and sex-trafficking. Things get complicated when they meet Crystal and Esther, two prostitutes who reveal just how deep the problem goes and set off on a dangerous mission to capture the truth.

With the use of hidden cameras and access to pimps, johns, and sex-workers, the filmmakers explore and unravel the complexity of sex trade in Seoul. They learn that this problem is rooted in issues far deeper than exploited girls and lustful men. Instead, it’s a consequence of a culture and government that condones and turns a blind eye to the biggest human injustice of our time.
Sex in Seoul is an independent documentary that unveils South Korea’s rampant prostitution and sex-trafficking secret and the young women it exploits.

10pm Tues March 20 & 27 on SBS.
