Storyline
The Wrong Light is a feature documentary that explores the dark side of child advocacy through the story of a charismatic "activist," Mickey Choothesa, who claims to rescue at-risk Thai girls but is instead proven to have misrepresented them for his own gain. In doing so, he joins Somaly Mam in Cambodia and Greg Mortensen in Afghanistan as perpetrators of exploitation and misrepresentation within the global aid industry. Written by Shine Global
