With hard-won access to a notoriously hidden world, episode 1 of this award-winning documentary series is a revealing and thought-provoking look at the daily lives of Amsterdam red-light district sexworkers.
Filmmaker Clare Sturges discovers the tough reality of legal sexwork through candid conversations with working women, clients, campaigners, politicians and experts. And when the city government threatens to close the area's infamous windows, Clare steps in to champion the cause of the girls, fire up emotion and uncover controversy.
Acquired by ABC Australia tx 9.30pm ‘Sex On Fridays’ strand. Find out about episode 2.
“[Clare Sturges] combines a pared-back interviewing technique with an impressionistic sensibility to explore the women’s lives, their fears, joys and coping techniques.”
