(More customer reviews)*Paper Dolls* is about a Filipino transvestite troupe living in Israel. These Filipino transvestite are caregivers by day and performers by night. Actually, throughout the week, they take care of elderly Jewish men. On their nights off, they perform as Paper Dolls in various places.
I thought it was a wonderful documentary with an interesting angle about Filipino transvestites living in Israel and take care of elderly Jewish men. Some of these Jewish men are not aware of the other lives of these transvestites. The others are and simply do not care. All they care is that they're treated well and looked after. These Filipinos have no problem doing their day jobs because they believe it is part of their own culture to take care of the elders.
This documentary focuses on several issues: immigration, religion, homosexuality, night life and of course, politics. While life may seem to be better for these transvestite Filipinos in Israel, they are aware that they're just strangers in a strange land. Soon, they must think of their future and unfortunately, it isn't Israel.
While I thought it was an interesting documentary, I felt that their performances as Paper Dolls wasn't really up to par or at least mesmerizing. Even the people who saw their show felt they were amateurish. I've seen plenty of drag shows and the good ones are able to knock the socks off of you. This troupe didn't. So, to watch this, set your expectations low.
