Sad. But there a few things I don’t understand.
The literacy teacher that was talking to the pregnant 15-year-old…the girl said the father was 30-years-old (which will get you some hard time in the slammer in just about any place outside the DR), and from the pictures that flashed by, it looked like he was a Dominican man. The story continues with this teacher saying these girls end up in Sosua (although I think she was already in Sosua since the first story with the children looked like they were in Sosua, and the story is titled “Sosua Documentary”) with “very old white men…always the same”.
And then the story went to a much older Dominican prostitute (48?) looking for johns at the bars in Sosua.
I am not a big defender of the guys that hang out in Sosua, but from the video, it didn’t appear you could lay any of this 15-year-olds problems at the feet of the old white guys hanging out in Sosua.
I am not trying to be a jerk, they were all interesting stories on their own, but what was the common thread that was supposed to tie them all together? Or were they just 3 random stories?
Thanks.
One more thing. Last time I was there, I seem to recall a fair amount of black non-Domincans (Americans in my case) trying to help the population of young women in Sosua achieve full employment as well. It is not a black\white issue. It is older guys (non-Dominican black\white, as well as Dominican men) having sex with young Dominican girls. Again, just about anyplace else, mistake of age is not a defense to serious child sex offender charges, no how much you pay.
not exactly a 'documentary' if it is 3.5 minutes long i assume there is another 36 minutes of film somewhere??
Girls get married at 15 in DR, are you telling me this should mean imprisonment?
You can not pass a law that says marriage is fine but sex with your husband is not, it is a contradiction in itself. Besides, 15, 16? Such difference? Not really, everyone matures at different rates. It is pretty average to be having sex by the age of 15 all over the world, Europe, America, Canada, the age of sexual consent is not an issue. Kids are screwing around by this age, just in a developed world they consider the consequences and more often use protection.
Hopefully, a trailer for something more expansive and in depth. She touched on a few controversial themes.
The mongers caught on video might not be too happy though.
No reason to get sensitive, misconstrue or misinterpret. I didn't say anyone in particular was a monger.
No, but you sure the hell implicated those in the video were, and why, because they were in a bar?
I won't give you a "Dislike" to your post as you did mind as that would be childishness.
I did dis-agree with your post.
