Scarlet Road

Scarlet Road follows the extraordinary work of Australian sex worker, Rachel Wotton. Impassioned about freedom of sexual expression and the rights of sex workers, she specializes in a long-overlooked clientele: people with disabilities. She helped set up an advocacy group (“Touching Base”), runs workshops for carers and sex workers, and is studying for a masters degree in her spare time. Rachel’s philosophy, that human touch and sexual intimacy can be some of the most therapeutic aspects to our existence, is making a dramatic impact on the lives of her clients, Mark and John. While Rachel’s clients offer a glimpse into their sexual self-discovery, Scarlet Road follows Rachel as she strives to increase awareness and access to sexual expression for people with disability.
