Join us for a special screening of this iconic Canadian documentary with filmmakers Janis Cole and Holly Dale in attendance!
At the height of the ’80s, Janis Cole and Holly Dale turned their lens on Vancouver’s Davie Street neighbourhood, a bustling, neon-soaked hub for both trans and cisgender sex workers informally known as “the prostitution capital of Canada.” The result was a this landmark doc combining candid interviews with a group of instantly memorable subjects and vivid location footage of their street work, surreptitiously captured with hidden cameras.
Much lauded upon its release in 1984 and no less potent 40 years later, it showcases Cole and Dale’s deeply humanist approach, bringing care and compassion to subjects often represented in more reductively moralistic terms.
The Fox and Canadian International Pictures are proud to present this groundbreaking classic in a new 4K restoration that confirms its place among the greatest non-fiction films ever produced in Canada.
