I agreed to have them here...
1:09:04
because even the Dominican padre here...
1:09:07
advised me very strongly
to have them here.

1:09:09
Because, as you know,
in the neighborhood...

1:09:12
we do have two, uh, native villages -
Machiguenga villages.

1:09:16
Shivancoreni and Camisea.
1:09:19
And if after months and months...
1:09:21
of having these people here
in the - in the camp - all the workers -

1:09:25
mestizos and white people -
1:09:29
uh, they might go after the women
down in the - in the villages...

1:09:33
and that would -
would really cause problems.

1:09:36
So, even the Catholic priest has advised us
to have some - some ladies here.

1:09:42
You have two children?
- Yes, two children.

1:09:45
- How old are they?
- One is eight months old. The other is three years old.

1:09:48
Did you get into this profession
because you liked it?

1:09:52
No, out of necessity.
1:09:55
Not because I liked it.
1:09:56
If it was because I liked it...
1:09:59
I'd find a man and spend my time
with him and fulfill my needs...

1:10:03
if it was for my pleasure.
1:10:06
But it's not that.
I do it out of necessity.

1:10:09
When you would ask me, uh...
1:10:11
to have a prostitute in my, uh-
1:10:14
on my shooting location in the United States
or in Germany, it would be ridiculous...

1:10:19
but here, uh...
1:10:21
it is standard expectation
and standard behavior...

1:10:24
and somehow the -
1:10:27
I don't know.
The -The jungle sweats it out.

1:10:29
It's not even ob-obscene.
1:10:32
It is, uh...
1:10:35
probably some fertility
or whatever...

1:10:38
that's going on here in thejungle.
