Have you ever seen the 2005 BBC doc "Geisha Girl?" It was very good, and did not seem (to my very limited knowledge) to perpetuate any harmful stereotypes, most of the doc consists of the women at the geisha house speaking for themselves (not too heavily narrated) although I was surprised to see that there are people in Japan who don't know whether or not a geisha is involved with sex work. (Does that have anything to do with Western ideas of what Geisha is?)
