This week, we'll be releasing a documentary on the new paradigm for sex work in Canada. Last year, the government passed Bill C-36, which criminalizes johns who patronize sex workers. These new laws also limit the abilities for sex workers to advertise their services. The government argues that this helps protect women in the trade from human traffickers, but others say that it makes sex work more dangerous for women who are consensually working in the industry.

We sent Lowell, a pop singer and former stripper, to meet with the policy makers and police to discuss C-36. Lowell also went down to Nevada to see how a regulated, legal sex industry functions. She also met with one particular john to see how he feels about his behavior becoming newly illegal.

Watch out for the full length coming this week.
