FLY IN POWER spotlights the work of Asian migrant massage and sex workers of Red Canary Song (RCS). We follow the stories of Charlotte (a Korean massage worker/poet), KhoKhoi (a body/sexworker/healer) and Prof. Elena Shih (global human trafficking researcher at Brown University), as well as the broader Red Canary Song community.
The film is a glimpse into their practices of care, autonomy, and survival against the oppressive systems that face Asian massage parlour workers and sex workers. Calling for “rights, not rescue” these women and non-binary queers fight for their community, for decriminalization, and debunking the myths of sex trafficking that pervade the Asian diaspora.
