The Chrysalis

"An intimate portrait of an American stripper shot by Brooklyn-based director Yago Hunt-Laudi"

In this documentary profile, he paints an intimate portrait of stripper Haley Rolland, a young woman from Missouri who speaks about taking control of her body and the difficulties she encountered during the pandemic.
