In anticipation of One Leg In, One Leg Out’s screening at the LA Film Festival, Lisa describes her hope for what the film will achieve.
“I think sex work is still very much taboo. Even with people I consider progressive, there is this subconscious puritan belief that selling your body is wrong. I hope this film helps illustrate that these women are doing what they have to do to survive and that it is important to create safe spaces for sex workers. I also want it to complicate the understanding of sex workers and choice. Yes, some sex workers chose it as a profession, others don’t. All should be kept safe and those that feel forced into it should be given support to leave it.”
