7/10
Not the ordinary documentary.

Warning: Spoilers
Subject matter makes this documentary out of the ordinary. Interesting, touching and funny, along with a few X-rated scenes. Martine and Louise Fokkens are 69 year old identical twin sisters discussing their lives as prostitutes in Amsterdam's Red Light District for more than 50 years. These charming women share stories concerning trials and tribulations revealing a few of the challenges and difficulties they faced establishing Amsterdam's prostitute trade union.The sisters reminisce about their childhood and teen years and the decisions made to enter their profession. Some of the stories about improbable clients may be a bit racy. The sincere care these sisters share for each other is nonetheless touching. This documentary may not be for everyone; but I am glad I didn't choose to pass over this one.
