How to make a shockumentary

1. Get a film maker with an agenda.
2. Hook him up with a hardnosed contact (in this case Dick Nasty)
3. Wait. Eventually a fairly naive girl will turn up and give you a money shot of your own.
4. Allow her to put herself in difficult situations. You have been around Nasty for a while and know the kind of people he deals with. You can see the girl has no idea what she's into, but what the hell. It makes a good film.
5. Realise when it's too late that maybe things are going bit too far, then project yourself as the knight in shining armour.
6. Get the girl to spill her guts about her personal life.
7. Wait 15 months then put it out when she's quit the business.

QUESTION : Who really exploited Felicity in that film?

A lot has been said on this topic, but I think you have said it best. Hear, hear!

Thankyou. I can post intelligently when I try!!
Another thing struck me about this film. The guy could see very early on that Felicity was way out of her depth and unprepared for what he surely knew she was being set up for. He could have pulled the plug after the third day and I am sure she would have quit then. But of course, he a film to make.

Incidentally, Dick Nasty and the other microbes in this film totally lacked respect for the girls. I have no sympathy with their actions. Just wanted to make that clear.

Ned,
Your comments are spot on. Like myself you have a good cynical
mind and you easily recognise how transparent this was, and how people are. It aint rocket science.
