Beyond the Neon

UTuber Joe Saladino makes a semi fake documentary about the exploitative female escort business in Las Vegas. He weaves real life interviews into a story about an undercover investigation involving a fake victim and fake criminals.

Whilst he should be commended for bringing attention to the coercion and exploitation of female escort workers, his self promoting methods distract from this issue.

The acting of Joe and his friends are terrible and the staged fights are laughable. His portrayal of law enforcement is ridiculous and is only there to portray him as some sort of victim.

The only good thing about the movie is the interview with a tremendously brave and dedicated lady who runs a shelter for women looking to leave the industry in which they are caught in. I also found it interesting how escorts agency are shown to circumvent the prostitution laws especially with the hand out cards with confirmation numbers.
