Sex workers of Empower present the first film ever made by sex workers in Thailand. Shot as a black and white movie, “สาวน้อยผจญภัย - Last Rescue in Siam” pays homage to old silent films and explores how the agendas of the police, military, health care providers and radical feminists have a tangible and often detrimental effect on the lives of sex workers. Last Rescue in Siam depicts the politics of "raid and rescue" operations and rehabilitation centers and gives us a humorous take on serious subjects. The film was shot within and around the Empower premises and the only collectively owned sex worker bar in Thailand, the Can Do Bar.

This brief (3.5) minute clip by the Veshya Anyay Mukti Parishad (VAMP, Prostitutes' Collective Against Injustice), encapsulates a succinct response to 'Prostitutes of God', a sensationalized and factually flawed documentary produced by Sarah Harris for VBS TV, owned by Vice Magazine.. Countering the distorted perspective in the film, women from VAMP present their incisive views about sex work; religion and faith; livelihoods; issues of consent; ethics and cross-cultural sensitivities while making documentary films.. The women in Sangli from VAMP recorded video responses to the film. In the age of the internet, women in countries far away who used to be the objects of white people's gaze with no right of reply now have access to the representations that are made of them, and the technological means to answer back. A naive westerner may seize the headlines, but there's now scope for there to be a debate and to bring those who in the past would have remained voiceless victims into that debate to represent themselves. It is a great opportunity to put the record straight. It's high time for documentarians and media organizations to stop misrepresenting and using sex work communities for their own gain.

Originally made for the Dec 17 day to Eliminate Violence Against Sex Workers, this film showcases powerful stories of resilience of migrant and refugee sex workers in Uganda. “We realized that words alone cannot convey the untold misery endured by sex workers in their different diversities. We need to develop an everlasting evidence based approach by bringing together the voices of the victims with an intention of inspiring others to stand against this illicit act of killing and brutalizing sex workers who the world has judged to be obscene. This film further intends to inspire fellow sex workers who are exposed to violations in line of duty either sexually, emotionally or physically to take a stand against this immoral act and to always seek justice.” - Batte Shamila, Executive Direction for OGERA
