Baht, is a short film about the story of a young girl who was abducted into the sex

trades of Thailand and Cambodia. It reveals an underground industry that is still

very prominent across the world and shows its effects on the souls it enslaves. Sex

trafficking is modern-day slavery. In Cambodia, and around the world, people are

bought and sold as if they were a commodity. Baht is an attempt to expose this

issue through telling a story, Sophea’s story. Sophea is a young woman fighting to

put the pieces of her life together after being deceived by someone she trusted

and forced into prostitution.
