The gritty and dramatic suspense thriller "ZERO" tells the story of a brash documentary filmmaker who ventures into the dark underbelly of Cambodia's virginity trade to capture on film the desecration of young girls taken from their village and sold into prostitution. The multi-layered story crosses the narrative threads of a disgraced doctor, a foreign journalist, a taxi-driver, a street peddler and a prostitute, as they navigate the socio-economic tensions that allow poverty and other social, horrific anxieties to flourish. Set and filmed in Viet Nam in 2005, the city stands as a microcosm of silent prayers and shattered dreams years after the war. Where desperate individuals are tormented by their conscience and the difference between right and wrong, is a raging struggle for survival every day. Written by
