When the hunters become the hunted: online meeting with director Barbora Chalupová following the screening of CAUGHT IN THE NET
Languages: English and Polish
Three actresses, three little girls’ bedrooms, 10 days, and 2458 sexual predators. This controversial document carried out by two directors exposes the scale of pedophilia on the Internet. Three actresses of legal age, but looking much younger, were made up to look 12 and sat at computers in realistic girly bedrooms built in a soundstage. The experiment lasted 10 days and yielded 2500 explicit offers and invitations. The directors finally agreed to let the actresses accept 21 offers and confront the pedophiles in the real world.
