Finally got around to watching this. It doesn't hide it's 'anti' position very well, does it? Interestingly, despite lines like "no pretending prostitution isn't an ugly business" and talking about the need to "scrape the sheets clean", it calls the women "girls". I wonder if that's denying agency or suggesting child prostitution.
It also seems to think that prostitution is illegal in the UK... and it can't make its mind up whether the chain it's about is a success (owner's "mansion", 4.5 million Euro spend opening somewhere new) or a flop (relying on one fortnight for its profits and having a poor one).
They pointedly don''t talk about how much the kitchen staff get per hour, do they? There's also no comment that 127 Euro a day, including accommodation, is typically less than a 50% split of the money (often with tips on top).
So if she'd been working there for her four years even at 50 Euro a time, Josie would have made 400 Euro a day after the fees and taxes. If the average payment was double that, the daily profit is more than doubles.
The estimates sound odd. A million men paying a day in Germany would mean, given a population of about 80m, about 5% of adult men paying every day. The 50 Euro a time figure probably comes from that figure and the annual total spend estimate of 18 billion Euro. But 'garbage in, garbage out' applies.
Speaking of which... 90% forced to work in the sex trade by pimps? Get lost! No commentary on the way 800 police raiding brothels resulted in, gasp, five arrests on suspicion of trafficking or pimping might suggest that figure is rubbish.
Also not mentioned is the way that smoking is going to kill more of the people featured than anything prostitution related...
