“Modern Whore” is Playboy if it was run by the Bunnies

After being the lead sex work consultant on the film Anora, Andrea Werhun tapped that film’s writer-director Sean Baker to executive produce her new autobiographical hybrid documentary. Modern Whore is part-talking head, part-reenactment and part-slap stick comedy, telling Andrea’s story from student to escort to exotic dancer. She sits down with Tom Power to talk about why she doesn't see herself as a victim or a villain, but rather a member of a community — and service industry — whose voices are rarely heard.
