MODERN WHORE
description
After Monty is assaulted at the strip club where she works, she weaponizes public art to exact justice against a system’s refusal to act. When the system fails her—ignored by management and dismissed by police—Monty turns to the one tool she has left: her art. Through a bold public act of protest, she transforms her trauma into a visual reckoning, reclaiming both her story and her space. Using Monty’s own drawings brought to life through animation, the film immerses us in her experience and exposes the broader culture of silence, stigma, and systemic neglect that so many survivors—especially those in sex work—face.
