BRISTOL INDYMEDIA NIGHT: LIVE NUDE GIRLS UNITE!
(Mon 5th / Doors open 7.30pm, film starts at 8pm
£3/4 though nobody turned away for lack of funds)
This is a must-see for anyone interested in workers' rights and how we can organise. Winner of the Audience Award at the San Francisco Film Festival Live Nude Girls Unite! is a documentary by Julia Query about the dancers at the Lusty Lady. They felt they were being exploited by management - being paid poor wages, having no changing area, and being racially discriminated against. Query tells the story of how the women not only confronted management, but also picketed in front of the peep show. She shows you the inside of the peep booths, where customers stand, and the layout of the whole place. As she tells this story, she also tells her own coming out story - how she tells her mother she's not quite straight... A truly queer film, and one of the few that is able to celebrate sex work while still highlighting the abuses in the
industry.
