Have you ever wondered how and why women become involved in the sex industry? Surely like any other job there have to be good days and bad days, right?
In Dunedin, producer Sonia Yee goes behind the images and stereotypes of sex workers. Along the way she meets the Dunedin coordinator of the NZPC (New Zealand Prostitutes Collective) to discuss the role of the organisation.
A former sex worker tells of her journey into the industry, and visiting an old haunt brings back lots of memories and more than a few funny stories.
