Your are invited to the New England premiere of
Anonymously Yours
Thursday, July 3 3:40 PM
John Hancock Hall
180 Berkeley St., Back Bay/Copley Square Area
Start your holiday weekend early with award-winning documentary, Anonymously
Yours. After a world premiere at the Montreal World Film Festival and a
U.S. premiere at the American Film Institute, Anonymously Yours will make
its New England premiere July 3 at the first Boston International Film
Festival ( http://www.bifilmfestival.com ).
Film Synopsis: Secretly filmed deep in the military dictatorship of Burma
(now Myanmar), Anonymously Yours chronicles the underworld of Southeast
Asian sex trafficking through the testimony of four Burmese prostitutes.
Each female in Anonymously Yours shares her own intensely painful
experiences as the commerce in this human trade. The documentary builds upon
each individual account without introducing the girls' families, some of
which are directly responsible for selling the women into slavery. The lines
between perpetrator and victim are blurred as audiences begin to relate to
all players and understand their motives rooted in human need. By the end of
the film, one can only hope the outcome will be positive as the reformed
prostitutes strive to create new and better lives for themselves and their
families. However, when the cameras stop, and the girls return to their
appalling realities, it is the audience, made painfully aware of the women's
tragic lives, that is changed.
Don't miss your opportunity to see the film Variety.com calls "must-see
viewing" and Moviemaker magazine hails as "shocking and raw."
