The
makers of the award winning Paulina (1998), Julia Query and Vicky Funari, follow up
with this slight (70 minute) but very revealing (pardon) look at a group of San Francisco
strippers who form a labor union--the first of its kind. It's shot on video and looks
pretty low-rent, but the subject matter is just lurid enough (there's plenty of
nudity) and fascinating enough to keep us watching. Ms. Query is the narrator and
main focus of the movie, and she gets trapped into finally telling her social
worker mother that she's both a lesbian and a stripper. As the movie ends, Query
and her comrades are busily working to unionize other strip clubs around the
nation. Who says sex and politics don't mix?
