Show detail Hide detail

A SAFER SEX TRADE is a TV documentary that looks at the world of prostitution, examining and challenging its stigmas through the eyes of three women who work at different levels of the sex trade. Scarlett Lake, a lady simply known as "Madam", is an established "businesswoman" who operates a boutique-styled brothel. Jennifer Allan is a former drug addicted sex trade worker, determined to salvage women who are still out on the streets. She is an organizer of "Jen's Kitchen", a small group committed to feeding prostitutes who work in very difficult conditions. Simone is a successful, highly-paid independent escort who has worked her way up from the street. She provides "girlfriend experiences" to "more classy" clients such as business executives. The film cross-cuts between interviews with the three women and intertitles that feature various factual information related to the sex trade in Canada and abroad. The stories of Madam, Jen, and Simone are set in Vancouver, a city that, in this context, is a signifier of horror and injustice - the place where Robert Pickton stands trial for the alleged murder of twenty six women, many of them Aboriginal. Most of these women were working in the sex trade. <48mn>
