Sin City Diary
A film by Rachel Rivera

SIN CITY DIARY is a powerful videotape which explores the lives of women who work as prostitutes around the U.S. Navy base at Subic Bay in the Philippines.

Sin City Diary raises important questions about America’s responsibility to its former colony, and the complex relationship between women, prostitutes and the economy.
