The documentary features contributions from women working as prostitutes, brothel owners, Julie Bates and Cheryl Overs of The Prostitutes Collective, academics Marilyn Lake, Prof. Marcia Neave, Eve Fesl Director of the Aboriginal Research Centre, the Aboriginal Research officer, Gordon Briscoe, State Historian, Dr. Bernard Barrett, historians Dr. Kay Daniels, Raelene Frances, Jonathan King, social worker Rosie Pace, and descendants of First Fleet convicts.
