Three films dealing with the titular theme make up Women in Peril, a new weekend film series at the Sunset 5. “Stripped,” a documentary by Jill Morley, chronicles her experiences as an exotic dancer, as well as the lives of five other dancers.

The series concludes with “Allie & Me,” directed by Michael Rymer (“Queen of the Damned”), the story of a developmentally challenged beautician who goes on a crime spree in Beverly Hills.
