Sarah Jones, Tony Award-winning performer and comedian, is making a different kind of documentary. She calls it an ‘unorthodoc’ about sex, power, race, and our economy and how you even talk about such things in today's polarized and commercial media world. "Sell/Buy/Date” expands on Jones' acclaimed 2016 off-Broadway solo production of the same name. She plays herself in the film along with four different characters that she's created, as well as real people whom she interviews, including people in the sex industry with an array of opinions about it. You will see activists of all kinds alongside celebrities. Rosario Dawson and Bryan Cranston make an appearance. And of course, there's Sarah's own mom. The film, produced by Meryl Streep, is in some theaters now and starts streaming November 8 on Amazon Prime. Join Laura, Sarah, and a few unexpected guests for this honest (and hilarious) conversation.

“We think of the sex industry as the oldest profession. It's really more like the oldest conversation we're not having in an honest way, about something that affects us all as human beings.” - Sarah Jones

“I love the expression, 'hurt people hurt people, but free people free people.' I'd love to see all of us across the gender continuum [free ourselves] around this very tricky topic of capitalism and sex and where they merge.” - Sarah Jones

Guest:   Sarah Jones, Tony Award-winning Solo Performer, Writer, Comedian & Activist; Director & Star, Sell/Buy/Date

ഒരു കഥ മാത്രം കേട്ടാൽ കാര്യങ്ങൾ മനസിലാകുമോ ? ഇല്ല. "അതാണോ ഇതാണോ" എന്ന സ്ത്രീപക്ഷ-ചോദ്യത്തിന് എളുപ്പത്തിൽ മറുപടി പറയാനാകാത്തത് ഫെമിനിസം സങ്കീര്‍ണമായതുകൊണ്ടല്ല. അത് പലതാണ്. കേൾക്കൂ മനോരമ ഓണ്‍ലൈനില്‍ – 'അയിന്?'... ഇവിടെ സംസാരിക്കുന്നത് ലക്ഷ്മി പാര്‍വതി.

Can you comprehend concepts if you only hear one story? No. It's not because feminism is complex that it can't answer the "is it or this" issue simply. They are many.  Listen to "Ainu?" by Manorama online... This is Lakshmi Parvathy speaking.

ഒരു സ്ത്രീയെ കാണുമ്പോൾ ചില മുൻധാരണകളുടെ അടിസ്ഥാത്തിൽ വിധി കൽപ്പിക്കുന്നത് ശ്രദ്ധിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടോ ? കാലങ്ങളായുള്ള അത്തരം സാമൂഹ്യബോധ്യത്തോട് അയിന് ?! എന്ന് ചോദിക്കണ്ടേ ? കേൾക്കൂ മനോരമ ഓണ്‍ലൈനില്‍ – 'അയിന്?'... ഇവിടെ സംസാരിക്കുന്നത് ലക്ഷ്മി പാര്‍വതി

Have you ever observed that after meeting a woman, people immediately pass judgement based on their preconceived notions? Yay for such historical social structuring? Listen to "Ainu?" by Manorama online... This is Lakshmi Parvathy speaking.

Trans liberation is the latest frontline in the struggle for civil rights. In their new documentary, Disclosure, director Sam Feder and producer Amy Scholder use over a century’s worth of film to show that trans identities have long been at the center of our collective cultural history. They join four-time Emmy nominated actress and Emmy winning producer Laverne Cox in a groundbreaking conversation with Laura on how trans people are reclaiming their stories and transforming the power structures in Hollywood. They describe the experience of assembling the first majority trans film crew and interviewing an incredible range of trans actors and media critics to understand how media shapes attitudes, behaviors, and laws about gender and trans lives. With film history as a background, Laura and guests explore what’s next for trans liberation — and the bearing it has on the continuing struggle for human rights for all.  Music in the Middle, “Free” by Ultra Naté and produced by Ultra Naté and Mood 2 Swing, courtesy of the artist.

They almost succeed. Very, very nearly. This week, Amy, Sean and the other guy do their best to discuss heroes...and end up discussing fairy tales and gender binaries, romantic chemistry and cinema demographics, and anything else that skirts around the issue. Being heroic is hard. Writing heroic characters ain’t a picnic either. Who were the heroes of times gone by? What makes a hero in the modern age? Grab your sword – or your biscuit – and follow the Word Docs as they explore different flavours of heroism.
