(I-Canada-News.Com, May 12, 2013 ) Ottawa, Canada -- For those who watched the documentary “Buying Sex” at the Toronto Hot Docs film festival, had a mixture of responses to the film.
“The message if you talk to any right-thinking liberal person is yes, let’s legalize prostitution. Yes, it’s the right thing to do,” observes filmmaker Kent Nason. “… but do you want to have a 14-year-old girl selling sex on the Internet? Do you want an 18-year-old to decide, ‘The only way
I am going to pay for my college degree is in a brothel?’”
The filmmaker continued: “The message if you talk to any right-thinking liberal person is yes, let’s legalize prostitution. Yes, it’s the right thing to do,” observes filmmaker Kent Nason. “… but do you want to have a 14-year-old girl selling sex on the Internet? Do you want an 18-year-old
to decide, ‘The only way I am going to pay for my college degree is in a brothel?’”
The film works its way through the complex debate on legalization of prostitution in particular forms. It focuses on the subject at the same time the Canadian Supreme Court of Canada is considering the 2010 Ontario decision against a law that struck down pimping and brothels.
In the research of the documentary, the makers noted very divergent groups of women, who are opposed in nearly every way when it comes to the rather hot-button issue. There are those who are fighting for its legalization, who are “sex-trade workers”, and whom often insist that their
body is theirs to control. The other is represented by “formerly prostituted women” who now argue the practice is a slave function.
“The abolitionists want to get to the core issues – poverty, sex abuse and gender equity; the other side says you can’t get rid of it so legalize it,” MacInnes explains.
During the research for the film, the Bedford vs. Canada case was launched to the Supreme Court, giving MacInnes something to truly focus the developing story toward.
“When the Bedford case happened we were still in development,” said National Film Board of Canada producer Annette Clarke. “It became clear to all of us that what was happening in the legal arena was going to dominate the debate. This was an opportunity to tell the story from the
point of view of women in the trade. Hopefully the Canadian public will be able to understand how complex the conversations are.”
