Mien grew up in Svay Pak, Cambodia, a small village notorious for one thing: child sex slavery. At a young age, Mien enters life in a brothel and her virginity is sold for a high price. She is forced to stay in the brothel, being raped daily, making her value less and less with each customer. Even when help is within reach, obstacles that appear too great to conquer squelch her dreams of freedom...but this isn't a story about the problem. The Pink Room is a true story of redemption, ordinary people becoming heroes, Cambodians rising up with compassion to take back their country, and a town's process of rebuilding from the inside-out. In a world where it is estimated that there are over one million children held captive and sexually abused, a flower blooms in the heart of Cambodia. Winner of twelve awards.
