An ensemble of sex workers tells the story of their efforts to abolish the discriminatory laws that criminalize them. SEX WORK: It's Just a Job takes viewers on a journey of why they entered sex work, their experiences with the criminal justice system, and why they became involved with the Decrim movement. The film challenges how sex work is viewed morally, culturally, and legally and shows that criminalization and rescue models fail to treat sex workers as human beings with dignity and political and personal agency. What sets this film apart is its centering of the voices of sex workers themselves -- their challenges, successes, and the solidarity they bring to their activism. SEX WORK: It's Just a Job is a must-see for anyone who yearns for a deeper understanding of the meaning of sex work and the movements for sex workers' rights. At the heart of the film are deep questions about policing and human rights in America.
