The Spanish-language Nicaraguan documentary Hidden Truths delves headfirst into the Central American sex trade, exploring the cause-effect relationship between crippling below-the-border poverty and the female prostitution that the indigenous women use to make fundamental provisions for their families. Grim, gruesome, and shocking, the film unveils domestic abuse, various contagions, and nauseatingly unsanitary conditions, but nonetheless reveals a core of hope that lingers in the hearts of many Central American women -- making this program as inspirational as it is sobering. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide.
