Death threats for director
<!-- by line --> <!-- end by line --> THE Singapore-based director of a controversial documentary Cowboys in Paradise - based on gigolos in Bali - has received death threats, reported The New Paper on Thursday. Mr Amit Virmani, in his 30s and a first-time documentary film-maker, is a Singapore permanent resident and Indian national. His documentary has not been fully screened yet in Indonesia but the threats via email have been posted via the show's website and on YouTube. The heat built up because of a two-minute trailer clip of the documentary released online in Dec 2009. Earlier this week, 28 young Indonesian men were questioned by Indonesian authorities over allegations of selling sex to female tourists.
