I took a look at that website - it looks like it would be a fascinating movie. There was an good blurb in the about section too. He had some interesting observations:
It is not easy to understand these women because their actual job is about being fake -- to fake flirting, to fake lust, to fake interest. But in all this faking, they still deal with real people and they often don't realize that they are not faking it anymore. So they tell you one story today and another story the next day. At the same time, it's not really lying. No day should be the same and no story is so good that it cannot be retold. So I decided to believe everything they said, no matter how contradictory it might be, because that's where the truth is with these women. The truth is a big fat lie. But that doesn't make it less true. I think that goes as close as understanding goes because I can never really walk in their shoes. The women themselves made sure of defining a certain basic distance. Even as a filmmaker, in the end for them I was always only a customer.

Holly is available on Netflix (it was a 2006) movie, and has that indy feel about it. It is a film that makes a statement - shining a light on child prostitution, but the message doesn't overpower a strong movie. It isn't some preachy campy hollywood exploitation movie, I don't remember a soundtrack or special effects, it draws you in the old fashioned way, with good writing, acting and editing.
The movies starts slow; this girl gets sold to the brothel as a virgin, and is basically a prisoner there while they wait for a high paying customer. The male lead plays a character whose bike breaks down in this town, and he pays the brothel for a room. They kick the girl out of her room, and give it to the paying customer. He becomes interested in who occupies this room, and befriends her. She is a very strong willed girl though, and the brothel sells her back to the gang because she is too much to handle. The guy comes back to find her gone.
Then the pace picks up as she is moved, escapes, is recaptured while the hero struggles to find her. It is one of those few movies that is enjoyable to watch more than once as it operates on many levels.
Jeez, I'll stop now - Never thought I'd be writing a movie review on 141!
