Stripped
The lives of strippers in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is known as the City of Gold and for the exotic dancers earning thousands of rand a night, it's more than just a nickname. Yet the wealth that is up for grabs in the South African strip clubs is simply a façade for the misogynistic and violent treatment of many performers that continues long after they step away from the pole. Through interviews with contemporary dancers, legends in the industry, and those who run the whole thing behind the scenes, it becomes clear that the exotic dancers of Johannesburg are in for much more than they bargained for.
