A person looking at something in their left palm while mid sentence. They are holding a cigarette in their right hand. They have light skin and short curly dark brown hair. They have a gold cross necklace around their neck, wearing a yellow-and-black animal print top with a deep v-neck. The background is a crowded restaurant with a bunch of people sitting at various tables and waiters in motion.
Description

Janis Cole and Holly Dale made their feature length documentary about sex work in Vancouver where cis women worked with transgender women, transvestites and males in what once once known as the prostitution capitol of Canada. A court injunction and the work of Concerned Residents of the West End (CROWE) moved the hookers out of the area and into more dangerous non-residential neighbourhoods in the summer of 1984.
