This movie

Is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, it isn't a porn movie. But it revolves around one, you see the prudes that America once was, and still is. We see the evolution porn made and the loses it made in the way, how the politics failed to close porn down.

And how they again dismiss evidence in a case that is not good for there cause. We see the actual uprising of porn movies here, and see how it affects peoples lives. You can see how the mob does have a hand in everything in the porn business those days, how they dealth with people who don't listen. If you don't see this movie you will have misted up a really great thing.
