Innocent Flesh
7456 Melrose Ave. Hollywood
Written and directed by NAACP award-winner Kenyetta Lethridge, Innocent Flesh shines a light into the dark corners of sexual exploitation, teen prostitution and human trafficking in America today. Loosely based on the real-life stories of four young girls and the hardships they face as underage prostitutes in the U.S., Innocent Flesh unfolds in a multilayered style that incorporates drama, humor, poetry, dance, a modern take on the classical Greek chorus and more. This haunting one-act reveals the bleak truth of "the life" -- abandonment, rape, abortion, molestation -- while keeping an eye toward a brighter future.
