Last year in 2018 for December 17th – International Day To End Violence Against Sex Workers – we released ’To Survive; To Live‘ – a short animated documentary about the lives of sex workers in the UK. Produced by SWARM in collaboration with Ada Jusic, and Woven Ink, ‘To Survive; To Live’ weaves together candid interviews from five people selling sex in austerity Britain. Setting aside the polarising optics that often surround discussions of sex work, the film gives an intimate insight into the hopes, fears and needs of a group whose voices are routinely silenced.
You can watch the film below. (Please note; themes include state and sexual violence against sex workers, drugs, and poverty)
