A lot of the footage is shot by amateur filmmakers in the days before the steady cam, so some of the clips have shaky cam as the person holding the camera walks

Several clips are shown of unhoused trans people, including a segment where Sylvia Rivera's encampment is toured, and a homeless encampment is shut down by the police. Most of the sex workers interviewed were also unhoused at the time of their work and describe their experiences.
