"In the old days, the local copper would tap on the window if a girl was showing too much ankle, now the girls deal coke from their cubicles." Louise and Martine Fokkens are identical twins. For over 40 years they were working as prostitutes. They freed themselves from the control of their pimps, ran their own brothel, and set up the first informal trade union for prostitutes. They are familiar faces in Amsterdam's Red Light District, but soon they will bid their farewells.
Meet the Fokkens is a portrait of these remarkable women, as well as a history of the Red Light District over the past fifty years.

This is how the profession should be run. Women are trafficked, beaten and raped in the sex market. When professional retired prostitutes take over the game, the women have dignity and quality of life. Women are going to and always have sold themselves. We might as well make sure its done right.

How do you plan to stop it? People have been bent on doing just that for centuries and they all have to give up because cash can't be traced and you can't stop women and men from talking to each other.

You can't shut down the oldest profession in the world. It's an intrinsic part of the darker side of female psychology and everyone who says it shouldn't be around and that they can control learns the same lesson. Unless you can find way to stop men from talking to women and women coming to a man's house, or at least track the exchange of funds, then you're stuck with it.

Isn't it funny how in America prostitution is illegal yet it's legal to have the 'bunny ranch' for the rich guys and politicians. The girls working at the bunny ranch are regulated and tested every month.

This was a FANTASTIC documentary! 3 short scenes where she's actually doing her business so it's not that graphic.
