I appreciate that this doc took on an important topic, but...


I didn't really know what to think of the idealization of the Soviet times. The narrator/director mentioned several times how things had been safer then, Bulgaria had the world's highest percentage of women working and they were making the same wages as men were.

For someone from another ex-Soviet country, this sounded a bit naive. I understand that everyone idealizes their childhood, but this rubbed me the wrong way. You can condemn the confusion and poverty in the post-soviet countries without idealizing the time that came before.

Just watched it and totally agree. Was there really no sex trafficking before 1989?
