Skinnymen Productions recently released their full-length documentary entitled Venus Lives. Venus Lives is a documentary about a controversial art exhibition series called The Venus Revolution. The Venus Revolution displays sensual and exotic images of extremely curvaceous women. The exhibit was created to provide a contemporary vision of a forgotten historical figure known as The Hottentot Venus. In a time where discussions of female exploitation and body image are at an all-time high, this artwork strikes at the core of many of today’s most provoking topics.

But is the exhibit's creator and filmmaker, Hotep a champion for women's empowerment or an exploiter of women's pain?

YOU DECIDE!
