Hookers a documentary
2008
DVD
Five women recount their stories of living with prostitution; their childhoods touched by alcoholism and sexual abuse, their initiation into prostitution, their struggles to survive, and ultimately, their actions to change their lives. They are stories of hope, strength and survival. Filmmaker Marcel Petit, "I want people to understand that they have a voice, as did these women, and that these women are someone; they are beautiful strong mothers and daughters and [prostitution and sexual abuse] have to stop. I just want the viewer to see these women as human beings; yes, they made bad choices, but they made them and they also made a choice to change for the better; it wasn’t easy but they did it."
