"Not Angels But Angels"
Working Boys in Prague
Amos Lassen
"Not Angels But Angels" is a documentary about hustlers in Prague and contains interviews with a procurer as well as with nineteen boys and young men between 14 to 19 who are prostitutes in Prague. Their turf is both the central train station and the clubs and their clients are mostly tourists. They tell us why they hustle and their first time, how much they charge, how they feel about the dangers involved including AIDS, their fears and where they think they will be in the future. They by and large lack education and sophistication. They are open about who they are and what they do and some of them will break your heart.
Documentaries give food for thought and we see Prague in its most basic as kids enter the world of prostitution and the film gives insight which reveals and touches the viewer. The boys need to be protected--from their own lack of education. Boys who are in command of themselves do not usually become prostitutes but lack of money can leaf to that. In Prague, boys need the money and so they enter the world's oldest profession---they do not seem to understand the reality of the situation.
The film lifts the curtain of the secrecy of prostitution and it does so in an excellent way.
Summary of Not Angels But Angels
Like no film you've ever seen, Not Angels But Angels is a chilling account of fragile youth caught in the grasp of Earth's oldest trade. Prague's economic boom and recently won political freedom have transformed that beautiful city into a new mecca for both Eastern and Western tourists searching for sex. Young men trying to live up to the standards of Western consumerism fall prey to the quick, easy money made from hustling. The young hustlers' disarming frankness and need to talk become the compelling engine that drives the film. They withhold nothing, telling their stories in gruesome and stripped bare detail.Art House & International DVD Video
