Remedy (2013)

Remedy: Directed by Cheyenne Picardo. With Kira Davies, Ashlie Atkinson, Julia Ubrankovics, Melissa Roth. A young woman must confront her physical and emotional boundaries as she enters the world of professional domination and submission.

“Remedy is an exceptional film for many reasons: the lighting, camera work, direction, and acting are all on point, and the story is honest. The protagonist, Remedy, played by Kira Davies, is curious and brave woman who ventures into the world of professional BDSM. Unlike other films about sex work, this film brings worker community to the front instead of focusing on the clients. It is a realistic look at how career burnout happens. Remedy is not a feelgood, u0026quot;happy hookeru0026quot; film, nor does it replay the tired trope of sex worker as victim, itu0026#39;s simply a movie about a woman with a job who does not get enough rest.nThis is a very important film bringing sex workers to the front, not as empowered or victimized beings, but simply as people.”
