The Philippines – “Hope in
Heaven” Film – Prostitution

Mila
works at Heaven, a little bar on “blowjob alley” in Angeles city, the
Philippines. Once the site of the United States Clark Airforce Base, the city
is now one of the busiest and sleaziest sex tourist destination in Southeast
Asia. Mila lives in tremendous hope that someday a customer will rescue her
from Heaven and take her to America.

In the Philippines, prostitution is not just lucrative business—it’s an
industry. Hope in Heaven, by filmmaker Meredith Ralston, examines the
country’s sex trade and the young women it traps. Seen through the eyes of two
idealistic female students and a male university professor, the film depicts
two years of Mila’s life and the people who befriend her. The poverty and
squalor she lives in and her hope that one day a foreigner will rescue her are
both poignant and heartbreaking.
