The incredible stigmatization of sex workers is juxtaposed against Sweden’s own celebration of its moral status in Europe in Ovidie’s latest documentary. Sex worker activist Eva Maree Kullander Smith was not only deprived custody of her children but eventually stabbed by the father ‑ a man with a documented violent past. An investigative film about the hypocrisy and moral double standards in Sweden’s law.
