Synopsis by Clare Perez-Izaguirre Lopez
This documentary directed and written by Stephanie Wang-Breal takes a close look at a specific court of law in Queens County, New York, which deals with the arrests of individuals arrested for prostitution in the United States. As of 2004, the court headed by the Honorable Judge Toko Serita aims to form a safe space for these often undocumented women and transgender youths, preyed upon by society and desperate to escape their situations.
