Overview
The world of pimping in early 1980s America offers a rare, unfiltered glimpse into a controversial underground lifestyle.

With a focus on both the allure and inherent dangers of this lifestyle, the documentary reaches a sombre climax, shedding light on the tragic murder of Alice Franklin, one of Harold’s streetwalkers, later that same year.
