UK Release Date: 20th January 2012
Opening in London & selected key cities to coincide with Chinese New Year.
‘ Red Light Revolution ’ is the story of a laid off cab driver who opens an adult-toy store to make ends meet.
Director Sam Voutas references ‘ The Full Monty ’ in terms of the economic backdrop and the financial toils of the every day man -
“Our film aims to strike a universal chord in terms of the struggles to get by with one’s head held high in tough economic times”.
This movie is based on fact. Beijing possibly has more sex shops per square kilometre than anywhere on Earth; why shouldn’t there be movies about this?
Sam Voutas says:
“Red Light Revolution offers, I hope, an entertaining wake-up call. China is traditional, yes—but it’s also a nation that is embracing capitalism like it’s going out of style, overhauling virtually every industry and activity.
