Four intimate 45 minute sessions, readings of your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
