Meet the Fokkens

Sisters doing it for themselves in Amsterdam's Red Light District.

"In the old days, the local copper would tap on the window if a girl was showing too much ankle, now the girls deal coke from their cubicles."

Louise and Martine Fokkens are identical twins. For over 50 years, they were working as prostitutes. They freed themselves from the control of their pimps, ran their own brothel, and set up the first informal trade union for prostitutes. They are familiar faces in Amsterdam's Red Light District, but soon they will bid their farewells.
