Prostitution: Beyond the Myths

"Prostitution: Beyond the Myths", a Volunteers of America Minnesota/TPT's MN Channel co-production that award winning independent filmmaker Sonya "Sonny" Tormoen produced, offline edited, & composed music for aired on TPT 17 on Saturday, Sept 1st at 8:00pm. Aleshia Mueller assisted Tormoen with this production. Additional funding provided in part by The Katherine B. Andersen Fund of the Saint Paul Foundation, The Carolyn Foundation and Brown College. For more info about prostitution: http://www.angelfire.com/mn/fjc/.

The 30 minute documentary "Prostitution: Beyond the Myths" takes a personal look at prostitution from women that have lived the lifestyle and have successfully gotten out. With intimate interviews of the women themselves along with experts who deal with prostitutes from a punitive or rehabilitative role (Hennepin community court judge, Minneapolis Vice Detective, Recovery counselors, community research group), the film demonstrates that once it is properly defined, prostitution person by person can be eliminated as a problem.

Tay Zonday

Yesterday, Minnesota Stories posted Minneapolis-based Tay Zonday's Chocolate Rain Music video. This video has become a YouTube hit. The song was great, but what I liked even better was reading the linked interview. This guy is smart and has a refreshing perspective. Check him out!

I like the song in this video, Internet Dream.
