Exotic
Amy Oden
Dotted with palm trees and coral reefs, Guam is a
United States territory where military men and Japanese
tourists abound. A seemingly perfect backdrop for
a strip club, the island should sound ideal to any
girl coming from Portland, Atlanta, or Anchorage
to work as an exotic dancer. But is it? Exotic takes
us into the lives of the dancers on Guam, giving
the viewer a front row seat to this fluid and secretive
world. Don’t miss this rare documentary, a
“Best of the Fest” selection.
