21st Century Brothel: Lisa Ling Investigates the Bunny Ranch

Posted by James on October 19, 2016

On Sunday, October 23, at 10 p.m. ET., the CNN original series This is life With Lisa Ling will premiere ‘21st Century Brothel,’ a comprehensive look at Dennis Hof’s legal bordellos and an in-depth study of the women who work in these sex dens.

The Moonlite Bunny Ranch is well known for being the focus of the hit HBO series Cathouse, and the brothel’s owner, Dennis Hof, is credited with shifting the paradigm of Nevada’s legal sex trade by proudly and unashamedly shining a bright light on an industry that once operated in the dark. Having spoken at respected establishments such as Oxford University, Hof is the controversial champion of the Nevada prostitution model, a system that allows sex workers to operate in a safe, healthy, profitable, and non-coercive environment.
