Red Light Blues

A one hour documentary about the earth-shaking changes at Amsterdam’s Red Light District. The struggle between the politicians, who want to close it and the people who live, work or visit there. Outspoken and non-conformist, the documentary features interviews with Amsterdam’s Mayor and other politicians, as well as with sex-workers and their clients. An informative documentary about a subject seldom discussed, and it is thought-provoking in its approach.

If any group of people is mis-represented and often abused, it is the sex-workers who chose for this profession. Most people don’t like to believe that such people exist and would rather have a less-diverse society, without sex workers in it. ‘Red Light Blue’s sheds an honest light on that part of our society.
