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.
