Produced by Point of View, In The Flesh provides an intimate 
insider's account of what it is really like to be in prostitution - 
by following the lives of three real life characters. Through its 
cinematic quest to represent the lived experiences of men and women 
in prostitution, In The Flesh provides a more nuanced view of 
prostitution - one in which violence and victimhood sit side by side 
with a relentless drive to survive. The inclusion of a trans-gendered 
sex worker breaks prevalent stereotypes of prostitution as a 
women-only twilight zone, and builds a deeper understanding of the 
way in which gender and sexual identities play out in the daily lives 
of individuals.
