Synopsis

An East Village artist, and documentarian, Maggie Hadleigh-West, decided she had enough of street harassment, those leering catcalls and vulgar come-ons the sidewalks of New York are famous for. So she turned the tables--her camera--on the perpetrators, not only in New York, but Chicago, New Orleans and San Francisco too. Filmed on the street from a woman's point-of-view, the documentary is a unique public confrontation of a not-so-trivial form of sexual aggression.
