Suburban Strippers (1998)

Synopsis

This documentary takes the audience into the world of strippers in Adelaide in the late 90s. We see male and female strippers performing, and talking about what they do and why they do it. Participants in the film discuss the distinction between stripping and prostitution.

Curator’s notes

An unselfconscious journey behind the scenes of the stripping profession. The film enjoyed relatively high ratings when screened on ABC Television.
