Back Stage and the Fine Arts Theatre invite you to a free screening of Holly, a feature drama about a 12-year-old Vietnamese girl sold into sex slavery and an American expat's attempt to rescue her. The film stars Ron Livingston (Band of Brothers, Office Space), the late Chris Penn (King of Sorrow, The Darwin Awards), Udo Kier (Grindhouse, Halloween), Virginie Ledoyen (The Beach, The Valet), and newcomer Thuy Nguyen.
Every year more than two million children are kidnapped and sold into prostitution. The film, shot almost entirely on location in the infamous Svay Pak red light district of Cambodia, takes an emotional look at the horrors endured by youngsters trapped in a world of sex tourism and child molestation.
A Q&A with first-time director Guy Moshe and actor Ron Livingston will follow the screening. The event will be held Monday, Nov. 19, 3 p.m., at the Fine Arts Theatre, 8556 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills.

Will this film put Cambodia on the map for pedophiles? For it will. I hope they will allocate a portion of the money to fund the centers rescued them so that they can have a chance for a normal living after this horrendous experience.
True, but it will help the region more if the westerner countries will tattoo all their pedophiles' forehead to help us identified them.
