“Just imagine after nine very difficult months of pregnancy you hand over the child that you think is going to be in your life forever. You are made promises of being the godparent and being involved it its life and within one month you hear nothing despite phone calls saying a visit would be soon but nobody turns up. Frustrated, traumatised and anxious is to put it mildly.
Then suddenly you start receiving threatening phone calls and letters demanding you hand over your rights and if you don’t you will be taken to court.”
Subtitled, ‘Bringing sex buyers out of the shadows’, this is the first documentary to explore the lives of sex buyers and what drives them. Through raw first-hand accounts from both sex buyers and prostitution survivors, the film lays bare the men’s journeys from childhood exposure to pornography, to becoming hardened predators, to what ultimately turned their lives around.
The film will be screened at the Vue cinema in Leicester Square. After the film there will be a discussion with the film maker, prostitution survivor Fiona Broadfoot, Gemma Kelly (Nordic Model Now! member and Head of Policy & Public Affairs at CEASE UK) and Ronnie Cowan MP. After that we’ll be heading to a nearby pub to continue the conversation. Do join us!
