The plot follows camgirl Alice/Lola (Madeline Brewer) whose account is hijacked by a clone of her. Knowing that Issa Mazzei, who wrote the screenplay, was a camgirl before absolutely contributes to why the film works. It also tackles how nefarious the internet can be. The ways in which sex workers are treated as disposable is partially what this movie is about.
Thankfully Cam (2018) seems to touch upon the world of camming, the misconceptions, the dangers that sex workers often face, and the empowerment. There isn’t always that needed education on sex work, sex workers, or anything surrounding it. Depicting sex work in film is very touch and go.
