- Summary:
- Follows the community of Asian and migrant massage parlour workers, sex workers and allies in Red Canary Song, a mutual aid collective based in Flushing, NYC-- highlighting their practices of care, survival, and community amidst their fight against the incarceration and trafficking systems. Follows the stories of Charlotte, a Korean massage worker/poet, KhoKhoi a bodyworker/healer, and Prof. Elena Shih, a Brown University, global human trafficking researcher as well as the broader Red Canary Song community. Calling for 'rights, not rescue' these women and non-binary queers fight for their community, for decriminalization, and debunking the myths of sex trafficking that pervade the Asian diaspora.
