Showbiz: Amateur Adventures in Film Studies
27: Human People (Street of Shame)
Season 1, Ep. 27
•
Oof, this might just be our bleakest film yet. This film brought up a lot; from issues of bodily autonomy to the realities and logistics of legal sex work, this week's reflection is slightly darker. Please note that we do frankly discuss our opinions on women's rights, including abortion, sex work, and general personhood.
