Review of I am Jane Doe

I was incredibly taken aback by how uneducated and bigoted so many of the people in this movie were. They seem surprised by the fact that bad things happen in America and state that they thought that bad things - like child trafficking - only happen in "foreign" countries. Their stupidity and blatant racism make it really difficult to watch. Additionally, the entire movie focuses on how terrible Backpage.com is, without even having actually talking to a voluntary full service sex worker. These sex workers use things like Backpage to gain clients and without actually speaking to them and having some kind of understanding of this, the movie has absolutely no nuance. The film is incredibly poorly done and really isn't worth the watch if you have any critical eye or any prior understanding of the issues discussed. If you just learnt about child trafficking and sex work yesterday, then maybe this is a good starting point, but otherwise it's a terrible, terrible film.
