I agree with Susan Jackson. This documentary is worse than reality TV with its scripted story. It exploits unknowing young girls as much as the factory owner and these girls aren't even pursuing fame whereas the participants of reality TV are. I wonder how much these girls got paid and I am sure they did. If you listen to Jasmine carefully, you will note that her voice changes subtly. I have heard from my Asian friends, who can speak the language, even claim that she speaks in different dialects from time to time. I think the funders, such as Sundance, should really examine the projects more carefully. It certainly makes me weary. I will not see another documentary from this director again. I wish Smoking Gun would do an expose on this film, but then again, it may bring the people involved with this horrible project more publicity and you know how there is no such thing as bad PR.
