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.
Come to the History Center and the Riverview Theater on October 21st for the Moving Pictures Film Festival. Aleshia produced "Lade of the Woods," "A Wartime Geologist," and worked on "Tanta Mary." Come and see the 60+ submissions.
