剧情介绍
The devadasi are Hindus who are married to god in childhood, and at puberty sold for sex. In this fascinating film by acclaimed director Beeban Kidron, we go on an intimate journey into the twilight world of the devadasi and meet the girls of Karnataka, southern India who are forced to live in this ancient tradition despite it having been declared illegal for more than 60 years.
The documentary investigates the surprising history of this little-understood community, reveals their rich and privileged past as concubines to the princes and priests of India's ruling class and explores their heritage as dancers and entertainers. (R)

devadasi以前是庙妓(唱歌弹琴跳古典舞等才艺、达官贵人小老婆人选、地位较高),后来成为穷人和贱民阶层为了不付嫁妆反倒能赚一笔的卖女儿为妓女的借口。1988年起已非法,但直到现在仍有几万女性深陷此业。有些穷人家一家几代都是:从小卖身养全家及供兄弟读书,老了无家可归沿街乞讨,艾滋病死亦不少
