The attack on the wrong doings and immoral acts of most of the political personalities was done in a humorous and "provocative" way thru a comedy movie called Juana C.

Starring Juana Change, Mae Paner in real life, the movie, or "sex" comedy as they claim with a grin on their faces, is a movie with a mission, and that includes to promote good governance and non-traditional leadership. It shouts out loud that there is an extreme need for change in the government system and the time for change is now.

There is a lot of sex in Juana C. the full-length film debut of the political critic/YouTube phenomenon. Kinky sex, sex for pay, boy on boy, girl on girl, group and something called vroom vroom. Why is there so much sex in a movie that wears its advocacies on its XXL sleeve?
