Co-produced by George Clooney, Steven Soderbergh and Grant Heslov, PLAYGROUND is a groundbreaking investigation into the multi-million dollar pedophilia industry. Infiltrating the brothels of Asia, filmmaker Libby Spears traces the sex tourists all the way back to America and discovers that it is as easy to buy a child in the U.S. as it is in Asia.. Speaking to various pimps, victims and police officers, Spears exposes how young children are being pushed into prostitution. Paired alongside the startling investigation are the personal stories of the victims. The film follows our main character, Michelle, over a five-year period.. Official Selection at the Tribeca Film Festival & Nominated for Best Documentary at the Warsaw International Film Festival.. "It is an emotional film, but it looks at the problem through clear eyes and with sharp focus." - Jason Bailey, Flavorwire
