Dance for Happiness

LAI Wen-Hsuan 2013 Taiwan Documentary color 36min Mandarin, Taiwanese DigiBeta
"It's just the matter of different stages, why look us down?" It's the question of Dudu and Barbie, the pole dancers. Everyone usually focuses on the gorgeous side of the pole dancer, but ignores the efforts they need to pay. Not only the instable income, but pole dancing is also high-risking. Furthermore, the society stereotypically associates the job with pornography.
