The Night Workers

Director Dave Gibson heads to Wellington's red light district on Vivian Street to interview strippers and prostitutes for this TV One documentary. Night workers ply their trade on the busy street, and inside late night venues like Tiffany's strip club. The nearby Evergreen cafe is also used as a drop-in centre by the city's gay community. Prostitute Kayla talks about AIDS reducing client numbers, while stripper Crystal Lee is nervous before her first dance. Police mention an improved relationship with prostitutes; Tiffany's owner Brian Le Gros claims men visit his club for fun not nudity.

I don't think someone comes here to actually see a girl with no clothes on. I think the average male would know what someone looks like with no clothes on … they're coming to see the variety of girls, and they're coming for somewhere to go.

– Strip club owner Brian Le Gros
