“Parinda Wanitwat was concerned about finances when she graduated from college this summer. After reading a Vanity Fair article about “sugar babies” — young women who date older men in return for compensation — she turned to the website SeekingArrangement.com to see what the fuss was about.

“I didn’t think it was a safe place at all for me,” Wanitwat, a 23-year-old New York City resident, said of the site. The website, launched in 2006, matches wealthy “sugar daddies” with willing “babies.” “But I wanted to do some research.”

Wanitwat began thinking about the women in such relationships, and developed an interest. After connecting with young women through online relationship forums and email Listservs, Wanitwat set out to produce a documentary that allows “sugar babies” to tell their own stories — without judgment.” *
