We would like to thank the people on Davie Street for their generous participation in making this film possible.
(opening scroll) The west end of Vancouver is a densely populated residential area close to downtown shopping and just minutes from Stanley Park.
Within this same district is a 20 block area with Davie Street as its centre. It has been coined "the prostitution capital of Canada." Available here are male, female, transvestite and transexual prostitutes who ply their trade daily from noon until 3:00 a.m. Up to 150 prostitutes can be found working these streets at one time.
Many of them started as juveniles, around twelve years old, and many of the transvestites started working as boys but instead found it more economical to work dressed as women.
Because of the dangers and vulnerabilities they face on the street, the prostitutes in this area have created bonds by working together.
