00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel.

00:02In this video, I will explain the true story of Hotel Kolkata, so, let's begin.

00:07Director Pete Gleason provides a bare revelation about the Australian outback in his 2016 documentary

00:12film Hotel Kolkata.

00:14The movie is based in a small remote mining town of Kolkata in Perth at the Denver City

00:18Hotel.

00:19It follows the story of two Finnish backpackers who are robbed during their trip to Bali and

00:23decide to work at the Aussie pub for three months to earn back their savings.

00:28Nina and Steph are initially excited to work in a remote town as a part of their work holiday

00:32but receive a cultural shock when they start working.

00:35The film then deals with their emotions and follows their journey, all the while documenting

00:38their bizarre experiences.

00:41While it is a documentary, the story seems to oscillate between fiction and reality.

00:46With instances that are hard to believe, the authenticity of the narrative is questioned.

00:51It's time to address these doubts and find out how true this story is.

00:55Everything that is documented in the film depicts the raw reality of that setting.

00:59Hotel Kolkata is not scripted as many people have claimed.

01:03Gleason's association with the pub had started over a decade before he filmed the documentary,

01:07and he initially decided that he wanted to make a film about the culture in the remote

01:10area, especially when he noticed a lot of foreign women coming for a few months at the

01:13pub to work as barmaids.

01:16He reveals that he had not expected the documentary to take the turn it did with Nina and Steph,

01:20and his idea was just to capture the next foreigners who came to the pub.

01:24Since Gleason is an observational filmmaker, there was no script prepared, and he decided

01:28to capture footage of whatever he noticed and the experiences of the women who came

01:31through a job agency.

01:33Gleason admits he did not have to get permission from the people at the bar to film them, but

01:37he made his intention very clear, and it came as a surprise to him that the behavior they

01:41projected seemed very normal to them.

01:43This film was originally shot in 2012, and when the women saw it years later, it still

01:48made them emotional with regret about the time they spent there.

01:51Gleason admits that the film took the drastic turn it did when Nina and Steph realized that

01:55they were facing a very unpleasant situation, especially with the locals trying to make

01:59advances at them and turning up at their home right above the bar drunk, which made them

02:02feel the need to draw a line.

02:05Nina also admitted that if they were not in need of money, they would have left the pub

02:08after the first day.

02:10But they decided to stick around and try to be friendly with the locals.

02:14Another thing that Gleason observed after filming the documentary was how hard it is

02:17for women to tolerate casual sexism just because they are in a new town where they don't know

02:20anyone and are trying to be on good terms with the locals to not create a scene and

02:24cause trouble.

02:26His experience watching foreigners before them who came to the bar was very different

02:29since some of them seemed to adjust to the lifestyle that was projected there, which

02:32seemed very odd and unacceptable to Nina and Steph.

02:36Nina and Steph's experience at the pub has been terrifying, with Nina insisting that

02:40if she could go back in time and change it, she would.

02:43It has troubled her so much that she has sworn off camping completely.

02:47While the documentary is supposed to be a subtle observation about their experience,

02:51it turned out to be completely different for Gleason.

02:54Nina and Steph were clearly appalled at the kind of harassment, sexism, and discomfort

02:58they were subjected to, especially due to the language and cultural barriers.

03:02The locals captured in the documentary, on the other hand, seemed more offended that

03:06they didn't adjust to their way of life like the women who came before they did.

03:10Nina and Steph, who were last heard from back in Finland, insisted they did not want to

03:13reveal details about their life since it was a scarring experience for them.

03:17With over 80 hours of raw footage to sort from, this compilation shows the true picture

03:21of how hard it is for women who encounter people for whom sexism seems to come naturally.

03:26That's all for now folks, I would appreciate it if you could give the video a super thanks
