And I'm pretty sure the buzz is not going to result in any preventative measures against sexualizing children, just in making sure this movie is labelled as pedophilic garbage.

You can make a movie with this message without actually sexualizing children, you know.

they cant use 18 year olds when the message is about children and she probably wanted to make is as shocking as it was for her seeing something like it in person

Doucours initial inspiration came from seeing a group of young girl dancers perform onstage at a neighborhood gathering in the suburbs of Paris. In the audience were several African mothers and mothers wearing the veil, and on the stage were young girls dancing sensually and wearing revealing clothing.

she wanted the movie to well reflect reality

Doucour, who is a self-taught filmmaker, then spent 18 months doing research, interviewing hundreds of young, pre-teen girls, gathering their stories and experiences of being exposed to adult material and sexualized images on social media. Many of the films scenes are derived from the anecdotes young girls had told Doucour

There were actually many stories which were so far beyond what you see in the film, and I just did not have the artistic courage to tell those stories on the screen, says Doucour. Stories of young girls who are 12 years old and prostituting themselves.
