Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal Interviews and examples combine for compelling but contentious debate. The audience is pushed and pulled by convincing reasoning on both sides that are pieced together as parallel, persuasive arguments. Oct 24, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This doc by the National Film Board of Canada felt more like a news piece than a feature-quality film. However, it did raise some important arguments against the legalisation of prostitution. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Another wonderful film by the National Film Board that investigates the legalization of prostitution and doesn't back away from the truly hard questions that one needs to answer in considering legalization. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I had a difficult time decifering any cogent argument against & not a lot of pro arguments either that it is a fundamental human right to buy & sell sex consensually as a legitimate service. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This documentary is an eye opener and it made me question my own stance on the sex industry. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
