The Sex Worker's Guide to Parenting

Overview

The Sex Worker’s Guide to Parenting is a feature documentary rooted in the Los Angeles sex worker community. The film centers six parents working in the sex industry, including filmmaker Kimberly Ye, as they reflect on the overlapping demands of erotic labor, caregiving, secrecy, survival, and mutual support. Through intimate interviews, small group conversations, observational material, and animated reenactments, the project examines how parents in stigmatized and criminalized lines of work create family life on their own terms.
