Sex: My British Job(2013)

Sex: My British Job is a documentary that investigates the hidden world of illegal brothels operating across London. Filmmaker Nick Broomfield and journalist Hsiao Hung Pai, who previously collaborated on the film Ghosts, go undercover in a Chinese brothel in Finchley using hidden cameras to expose the exploitation within the sex trade. The film reveals that over 2,000 illegal brothels operate in the capital, largely unchecked by police and authorities, employing thousands of foreign nationals—many undocumented—who are vulnerable to systematic abuse by owners. Through intimate, covert footage, Broomfield documents the conditions and control mechanisms that trap workers in the industry, raising urgent questions about law enforcement's response to organised sexual exploitation in Britain.
