Red light district documentary |
|
Early next year three 50 minutes episodes of the documentary about the new policy for the Amsterdam Red Light District will be broadcasted by the Dutch program NCRV Dokument. Since two years camera man and documentary maker Frans Bromet follows entrepreneurs that are affected by the new policy. To policy intends to fight abuse of prostitutes, women trade and criminality by planning to close down 40% of the prostitution windows and many of the coffee shops. Some question if this plan will work, others fear that the closure of prostitution windows will only make things worse for the women. The last weeks of filming are mainly used to find out more about the prostitutes, most of them from the east of Europe, and how much abuse and criminality is actually taking place. A difficult task since the prostitution branch is a very closed world and practically none of the women want to talk.
