Seeing Red: Our New Film on Media Bias & Sex Work

For over a century, the American media machine has weaponized headlines, Hollywood, and true crime to dehumanize and exploit sex workers. But we refuse to be locked out of our own stories. My new film is a collaboration with documentarian/sex worker Em Vaughn. In Seeing Red, sex workers are turning our own lens on the media, disrupting the entrenched narratives that harm and exploit us while telling interesting, nuanced, and complex stories about ourselves.
