"We're not Bali gigolos!"

A documentary, Cowboys In Paradise by Singapore-based writer and director Amid Virmani stirred up a wave of panic and commotion among Bali tourism officials and foreigners who visits Bali. The documentary is about love and relationships between locals and foreigner, that there were males offering sexual favours in return for money. Its candid interviews with the local men who flirt with and seduce foreign tourists has tainted the Spiritual island. And government officials have rounded up almost 30 so-called beach 'cowboys' in a bid to 'clean up the beach of prostitution".

This article has a controversial topic about how a film made on a one sided point of view can have such a big effect on a island's economy.

I agree with the writer's point of view. For those tourist who have not been to Bali and do not understand the culture of Bali before, watching that documentary can set an impression on the viewers believing that Bali is really a island with beach 'cowboys' making their earning.

Did the writer interview the writer and director who made the film? Why and what gave him the idea to make such a documentary? And does he really believe that Bali is really an island that has beach 'cowboys'?

If i were incharge, i would have done the same.
