Anti-porn propaganda posing as documentary
6 September 2016
This is a laughable attempt at a documentary covering life after the porn business. You have only to look at the list of actors featured to realise that very little room is given to those who were okay with the porn business, and lots of room was given to those who hated it. Nina Hartley, who should have been the centre of this documentary, hardly gets a word in, while the anti-porn crusaders Shelley Lubben and Crissy Moran together cover approximately a third of this "documentary". Of course, their lives were ruined long before porn, but that is basically passed over here, and all the attention is given to how they suffered while making porn, or after they were done with it.

Religion is heavily featured here, and presented as the saviour. Even Asia Carrera, who did not complain about her time, and who is an atheist, still decided to live in Mormon Country, but it was not religion who helped her when her husband died and she had a ton of bills to pay; it was her porn fans.

The person basically telling the story here, narrating the documentary, is Luke Ford, who made his living for many years writing for gossip columns and making up stories for a living. He was sued more than most tabloid journalists of his age, and yet, he is the storyteller granted the most time in this documentary, even though he has no connections whatsoever with the adult industry. For that reason alone, this "documentary" should be disqualified from that genre.
