Let's voices speak for themselves

This documentary is really engaging because it doesn't intervene in the expression of perspectives on prostitution. There is no narrator: You hear directly from people who are vocal about the laws around prostitution. They each get a chance to say what they feel, and their arguments speak for themselves. Importantly, the majority of the platform is given to current and former sex workers who take different stances on the way laws can best protect women in an undeniably gendered profession.
