About the film:
On May 1, 2002, transsexual sex worker & performance artist Mirha-Soleil Ross delivered a series of blows in monologue form at anti-prostitution discourses and campaigns, detailing the way they impact, often tragically, on prostitutes' working conditions and lives. This is a video documentation of the event.
Mirha-Soleil Ross is well known for her challenging, humourous, incisive, and politically astute work. Over the last 12 years, she has created numerous performances, videos, and installations she considers "whore activism," artistic and political interventions in a social and cultural context where almost every single aspect of prostitutes' work and lives are stigmatized and criminalized. The film presents both performance art and activist pedagogy.
