Scarlet Road
''Scarlet Road'' is a 2011 documentary that explores the life of Australian Rachel Wotton, a prostitute who is based in New South Wales (where prostitution is decriminalised) and sells sex to clients who have disabilities. Directed by Catherine Scott and produced by Pat Friske for Paradigm Pictures, the film premiered at the Sydney Film Festival on 11 June 2011. Subsequently, there was a public screening and reception at the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly in Canberra. ''Scarlet Road'' was a 2011 Walkley Documentary Award finalist.
== Background ==
Wotton is a member of Scarlet Alliance, the "Australian Sex Workers' Association".〔 In late 2000, Wotton collaborated with other prostitutes and related organisations, such as People with Disability Australia Inc., to form the "Touching Base Committee". The committee explored the concept of providing commercial sex for people with special needs and the corresponding training that would be required for participating prostitutes. As of February 2014, Touching Base is an incorporated charitable organisation based in New South Wales and provides information, education and support for clients with disabilities, prostitutes and disability service providers.
Filmmaker Catherine Scott had known Wotton for 11 years when she proposed the idea for ''Scarlet Road''; however, Wotton was initially reluctant, due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter. They continued to discuss the idea and the documentary was eventually completed over a three-year period. Wotton later commented on the documentary approach saying: "This film was a collaboration thing. Cathy worked closely with me and listened not just to my voice but to those of other sex workers."〔 Wotton explained her motivation for making the film in greater depth after its launch in 2011:
Part of my reason for doing the film was to wipe away the 'us and them' mentality. We're all one car accident away from being in the same position as these guys. Tomorrow we could all wake up out of coma and not be able to eat let alone have sex or touch ourselves. What I say to people is imagine the next time you go to have sex or masturbate having to call your mum and have her organise it all for you ... People with disabilities want to be viewed as whole beings. Think about how important your sexuality is to how you are perceived. These people aren't seen like that, so you can imagine how that makes them feel.
Following the release of the film, Wotton stated in an interview with the ''Sydney Morning Herald'': "I am a sex worker and I make my money from clients seeing me. Some clients just happen to have a disability."
