Actress Rachel Griffiths discusses her role in the new series 'The Clearing', which explores the realities of a legal and ethical brothel in New Zealand. Griffiths delves into the themes of 'feminomics', the decriminalization of sex work, and the complexities of women's choices in navigating challenging circumstances.
came in, actress Rachel Griffiths was handed a copy of the book it was based on: the at-the-time unpublished memoir of Antonia Murphy, about her experience running an “ethical” brothel in New Zealand.
“Because when you have the law, then you’ve got cops, and you’ve got to have cops being paid off, and then you’ve got to have someone up the food chain high enough to be paying off the cops to not raid the brothel,” she says.is the question of “feminomics”, says Griffiths. “In New Zealand, sex work is legal, but it’s also completely decriminalised. In Australia, I don’t think we’re quite there those protections for women,” she says.
There are also – to some extent – feminomics to the jobbing life of an actress. “I’ve got a thing when I do a movie or a show, it’s how long, how far, how much and how good ... because it’s almost never in my hometown,” Griffiths says. Last year, Griffiths says, she passed on an extraordinary project because she could not make it work. “It just didn’t suit the algorithm, it was too long, and it was too far as a mum – you just make those decisions,” she says.], many of them were single mums and head of the household, and they’re just making the same decision – how long do I have to work, for how much money, how far away is it?” Griffiths says.
