After more than three years of work, my documentary The War on Whores (produced and directed by Paul Johnson) is finally here! The world premiere is less than two weeks away, at 7:30 pm on Saturday, March 2nd, at The Rendezvous in Seattle. Then on March 20th, we’ll have a second showing in Vancouver; I’ll tweet details of that soon, but it wil include a panel discussion I think y’all may find interesting. The video is already available as a download on Vimeo, and will soon be available on DVD from several different sources (I’ll provide links as they are given to me). But what I really would like is the chance to do sponsored screenings all around the country (and even in other countries, if that can be arranged) in which I can do a short talk and Q&A period along with the documentary. We’ve already got a few possibilities in the works, but if you represent a university, political group, corporation or any other entity which might be interested in sponsoring a screening for your members and/or the public, please get in touch with me via email so I can put you in contact with Paul, who will be handling all that sort of thing. Naturally, I’ll be available for professional dates during the time in any given city, so you might consider that a bonus to helping set something up. But most of all, I just want to hit as many venues as possible; I think the movie is great and I’m very proud of it, and we believe it’s going to open a lot of eyes to the reality of how politicians, other “authorities”, and wealthy busybodies have redirected the dying War on Drugs into a war on women, consensual sex, and migration intended to accomplish the same goals as its predecessors: growing the police state, enriching fascist cronies, and putting as many people as possible – not to mention the entire internet – under direct government control.
The War on Whores

Congratulations, and I hope you come to Phoenix!
I’d volunteer my corporation as a sponsor but they’ve gone Full Idiot Prohibitionist Save the Wimmins and I would likely be fired for even suggesting such a thing as it would create a “hostile working environment” to suggest sex workers have agency.
can you tell me where in Vancouver this is being shown?
Yes, it’s in a theater Paul Johnson rented, 151 W Cordova St.
This is great! Do we get tickets in advance? What’s the admission?
The Seattle premiere was Saturday evening; we have another showing in Vancouver on the 20th, and I’ll release details as soon as I know them. We’re planning a number of other shows, and if you click in the link in the post above, you can watch or buy the film through Vimeo.
Dear Ms. McNeill,
I am wondering if you were going to be coming to the east coast because I can imagine that you would have a New York Showing of your documentary. I really hope that this is the genesis of a groundswell of support against Sesta. Also I am thinking that this would also be an awakening to all people who would have some sensitivities to your issues and hopefully promulgate some change concerning issues and venues that would effect you.
Impressive. Congratulations!

Let’s make war on somewhere it makes sense: like the giant corporate interests who are using the government to destroy the middle class.
Hey Maggie I was wondering, in the past 30 years have you tried to warn your audience of the frustration presented by automated escort services?

This briefly touches on differences presented in human and AI interaction. I am consider a breeder so I prefer human interaction and I was just wondering, do you think human interaction will end soon?

Just watched your film. I would love to talk to you. You are the first person who thinks like I do. I am a proud libertarian and work by choice in this field.
Been trying to find a contact for you.
Thank you.
There’s a contact link in the right-hand column, sweetie.
