In Atlanta: Strip City, we travel to Atlanta—the city whose strip clubs pioneered the booty clap back when Miley was still learning to walk. Host Jo Fuertes-Knight talks to the superstar strippers of ATL about how they feel about the music industry's appropriation of their world. She also sits down for a consultation with a buttock implant doctor, tries out a "twerk-cercise" class, and investigates "stripping licenses," which allow the state of Georgia to profit from the enduring popularity of watching women take their clothes off onstage.
