You can't clap with one hand.
Happy Endings? Synopsis
An intriguing exploration of the Asian massage parlor industry in Providence, RI, where a 25 year-old loophole has made the exchange of sex for money legal - as long as it happens behind closed doors. As the documentary follows a recent Korean immigrant, "Heather", working to operate her spa, the city's mayor fights to change the law that allows her business a legal existence. The film includes interviews with Korean women who work in spas, clients who frequent the spas, politicians from 1980 and today, police, local news footage, radio call-in shows and "voiced" reviews from inter-net escort review boards.
Happy Endings? (2009) is a documentary film directed by Tara Hurley, released on March 1, 2009 with a runtime of 1h 14m. It stars David Cicilline, Steven Brown, Joanne Giannini and Donna M. Hughes.
