Sex Workers Take Back the Night

Sex Workers Take Back the Night

San Francisco's Take Back the Night (December 1990)

I think this tape was referenced by my students who were working with Carol Leigh, and some of it is in the composite tape she gave me years before, digitized and used in this collection. The student work in collaboration with Carol Leigh and other sex worker activists, GROUP SEX, can be found here.

Carol Leigh ("Scarlet Harlot")

1990

Scarlot Harlot attends San Francisco's Take Back the Night (December 1990), a march in remembrance of the fourteen female college students murdered in the previous year's Montreal Massacre. Clashes and controversy emerge between sex workers and anti-porn feminists about sex, violence and men with an emphasis on the perspectives of strippers and sexual rights activists. An excellent feminist discussion piece. W.O.W. Cafe (N.Y., N.Y.) VIDEO WITNESSES FESTIVAL OF NEW JOURNALISM, HALLWALLS (Buffalo, N.Y.), LOS ANGELES LESBIAN AND GAY FILM FESTIVAL (28 min.- 1991)
