Over the course of 10 weeks, sex workers in the Toronto community met once a week to learn about filmmaking and to produce their own short films. All of the films are directed by sex workers, supported by film and community facilitators and a team of student editors. The workshops were supported by a grant from the Social Science and Humanities Council, directed by Brenda Longfellow of York University.

The participants were split into two different groups. Click the links below the listings to watch each group's videos.
