Rent Boys (German: Die Jungs vom Bahnhof Zoo; lit. 'The guys from Bahnof Zoo') is a 2011 German documentary film directed, written and produced by Rosa von Praunheim.
The film focuses on male prostitution oriented to gay men in and around Bahnhof Zoo train station, a central transport facility in Berlin that has been a meeting place between gay men and male prostitutes for more than forty years.[1]
The film consists of interviews with current and former hustlers (mostly immigrants from Eastern Europe), their male customers, and the social workers who try to help them.[2] It portrays not only the tragic fate of some of the male prostitutes, their everyday life and routines, but also other aspects related to male prostitution: poverty, drug addiction, AIDS, crime, migration, love, and partnership.
