This documentary showcases the 1996-97 effort of the dancers and support staff at a San Francisco peep show, The Lusty Lady, to unionize. Angered by arbitrary and race-based wage policies, customers' surreptitious video cameras, and no paid sick days or holidays, we see the women work, sort out their demands, and go through the difficulties of bargaining. The narrator is Julia Query, a dancer and stand-up comedian who is reluctant to tell her mother, a physician who works with prostitutes, that she strips.
Come down and spend a seedy Sunday evening watching a fun, interesting and totally empowering documentary.
Hope to see you there, at 7pm in Friedelstr. 54.
SC
