Looking for a revealing porn documentary?
Want to peek behind the other red curtain?
The porn industry has always been a magnet for curiosity, controversy, and in some cases… outright bullshit. The thing I love about documentaries is getting to see the masks slip and the myths crack. It’s refreshing to have a proper look at how this business really works when the cameras aren’t rolling for sex.
So, with that in mind, I’ve updated our compilation of must-watch documentaries covering the adult industry. From legendary star bios and cautionary tales to tech-age scandals… these are the most revealing porn documentaries from the last five decades.
What Are The Best Documentaries About Porn?
Some of these films are fun. Some are uncomfortable in places.
A few will probably change how you look at porn altogether. But taken together, they offer a rare, unfiltered snapshot of an industry that usually prefers to stay behind closed doors.
Let’s take a closer look…
1. Hot Girls Wanted
| Released | 2015 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 24 mins |
| Directed by | Jill Bauer, Ronna Gradus |
| Starring | Levi Cash, Farrah Laurel Abraham, Carrie Brooks and Kim Kardashian West |
This Netflix-backed doc is a raw, unfiltered look at “porn, the Internet and the girl next door.” It follows several 18-19 year-old Midwestern girls enticed into the amateur porn world.
It was originally intended to explore the porn appetites of male university students but after several weeks of filming the directors were intrigued by the high proportion of young female porn actresses. The film goes on to document the lives of a handful of these women as they launch their careers online and transition from simply amateur performers to professional ‘amateur’ porn stars.
The creative team is the same as those who produced Sexy Baby, an exploration of eroticism in the digital age.
The completed film was launched at the Sundance Film Festival in 2015 and was picked up almost immediately by Netflix; the documentary was also nominated for an Emmy the same year.
The film has received split reactions from critics but has mostly been positive. By and large, the films’ directors have been praised for creating an instructive and provocative film that offers an opportune cautionary tale.
The popular U.S. entertainment weekly magazine, Variety, reviewed the documentary as:
“…an intimate and ultimately harrowing peek inside the world of amateur porn, Hot Girls Wanted will shock and outrage audiences in equal measure.”
Two years after the film’s initial release a six-part TV series was created with the same name offering an exploration of ‘the intersection of sexuality and technology’.
Hot Girls Wanted is available to stream on Netflix, as is the spin-off TV series Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On.
2. After Porn Ends (Trilogy)
| Released | 2012, 2017 and 2018 |
| Run Time | Various |
| Directed by | Bryce Wagoner |
| Starring | Seka, Stormy Daniels, Asia Carrera, John Leslie and Amber Lynn |
Ever pondered what happens after the final money shot? After Porn Ends answers that… and it’s not all champagne and retirement villas in the Porn Valley.
Director Bryce Wagoner serves up a trilogy of documentaries catching up with retired porn stars across generations. The first film (2012) was a bit rough around the edges, but the two sequels in 2017 and 2018 rounded out the concept. Binge all three and you get a pretty comprehensive – and humanizing – timeline of porno past.
It’s a retrospective look back through, for some, rose-tinted glasses whilst others share some absolute horror stories. These docs dish delicious gossip. One moment you’re hearing ’70s legend Seka reminisce through rose-tinted glasses; the next, Asia Carrera or Amber Lynn is recounting an absolute horror story from the trenches.
Seeing former superstars like Stormy Daniels doing normal mom stuff is oddly touching.
These former adult movie stars, in their married lives with children and (even grandchildren) seem so incongruous with the XXX world they once inhabited, it can feel quite comical at times. The format might not be to everyone’s liking but it is addictive; watch one and you will watch them all.
All three movies are available on Netflix.
3. Rocco
| Released | 2016 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 45 mins |
| Directed by | Thierry Demaizière and Alban Teurlai |
| Starring | Rocco Siffredi |
Winner of the NIN Award at the FEST Internatinal Film Festival, Rocco is a no-holds barred portrait of one of contemporary porn’s biggest icons; the legendary Rocco Siffredi.
Yes… Enter the Italian Stallion. Rocco Siffredi is porn royalty – the kind of guy who’s racked up over 1,300 film credits and still found time to be a family man.
Siffredi is candid and bold yet the film documents a very three-dimensional figure and fans will get to see him as never before. It is a beautiful and provocative piece of film that chronicles the final year of this famous superstar of porn in front of the camera.
Directed by Thierry Demaizière and Alban Teurlai, Rocco doesn’t shy away from the hard truths – or the hard… well, you get it. One moment he’s coaching a young performer through her nerves, the next he’s confessing the toll decades of debauchery have taken on his soul.
Overall, this is a brooding portrait of a man who gave his body to an industry… and is now grappling with what’s left for himself.
You can find Rocco through streaming services like Netflix.
4. The Dark Side of Porn (TV Series)
| Released | 2005/2006 |
| Run Time | 9 Episodes over 2 series (Approx. 50 minutes each) |
| Directed by | Various |
| Starring | Various |
Commissioned in the United Kingdom by Channel 4, The Dark Side of Porn features standalone episodes, each directed and narrated by a different creative team.
Individually, each title explores one aspect of the ‘darker’ world of pornography. It’s like a true-crime anthology, but for porn. Topics include the mysterious death of porn star Lola Ferrari, the HIV scare of 2004 which led to a two-month shutdown of the Los Angeles porn industry and the truth behind snuff movies.
The series includes a popular episode entitled Debbie Does Dallas Uncovered and delves into the story behind one of porn’s most iconic films. A cult classic and famous even with people who have never seen the title, Debbie Does Dallas featured the talents of the notorious 1970s adult film star, Bambi Woods.
Though each of the episodes in The Dark Side of Porn collection are very different they do share a commonality in the high quality of their production. With contributors ranging from Phil Tonge, Germaine Greer and Eli Roth to Briana Banks, Ben Dover and Sylvia Kristel this is a diverse selection of porn documentaries that are well worth catching up on.
You can find the titles on several pay-per-view streaming services with YouTube also having some footage available for free.
5. Wadd: The Life & Times of John C. Holmes
| Released | 1999 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 45 mins |
| Directed by | Wesley Emerson |
| Starring | John Holmes (archive), Bill Amerson and Linda Adrain |
A fascinating insight into one of porn’s biggest names, John C. Holmes, Wadd features the family, friends and enemies of this icon.
The film won the Best Feature Documentary award at the 1999 South by Southwest Film Festival and was generally well-received by critics at the time. Wadd gives us a unique view of the world of pornography at a time before it became more mainstream and pre-digital.
Holmes is still one of the most prolific male adult film stars and made over 550 titles before his untimely death from AIDS in 1988. However, he is best remembered for being endowed with a huge penis. The exact size is contested but is thought to be around 13” in length and was insured by Lloyds of London for $14 million!
The film features interviews with Holmes’ contemporaries including Ron Jeremy, John Leslie and Don Fernando, this documentary is shocking at times but an utterly captivating account of a true legend.
Wadd has been reformatted on HD and is available to buy on DVD.
6. Inside Deep Throat
| Released | 2005 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 29 mins |
| Directed by | Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey |
| Starring | Linda Lovelace, Dennis Hopper and Harry Reems |
Deep Throat (1972), along with Debbie Does Dallas (1978) is one of the most iconic porn titles in the world yet few people know the story of how the film sparked the mainstream crossover of porn.
How did a cheap 1972 stag film starring a naive girl from the Bronx become a cultural earthquake? Inside Deep Throat digs into exactly that.
Edited from over 800 hours or archive material, interviews and other footage taken during the Golden Age of Porn, Inside Deep Throat is also a vivid portrait of the film’s star, Linda Lovelace. Lovelace shot to fame after the film’s wide success yet her role was a controversial one that was reportedly shot under coercion from her partner at the time.
The documentary is a romp through history: It’s packed with ’70s nostalgia, hilarious archival footage of confused newscasters, and interviews with everyone from porn historians to the FBI agents tasked with shutting the movie down. Dennis Hopper narrates with gravelly gravitas, guiding us through the hype, the moral panic, and the piles of cash Deep Throat generated (some say over $600 million, much of it Mafia-skimmed). But the heart of the story is Linda Lovelace.
You can stream Inside Deep Throat via Amazon or Netflix as well as buy this title on DVD.
7. Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy
| Released | 2001 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 17 mins |
| Directed by | Scott J. Gill |
| Starring | Ron Jeremy, Lexington Steele, Jenna Jameson and Larry Flynt |
Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy depicts the personal life and career of one of the most famous names in porn. If John Holmes was porn’s Elvis, Ron Jeremy is its… uh, Willie Nelson? (Sticky bandana and all.)
At times homely as Jeremy fulfils his role as ‘just another Jewish guy from Queen’s’, the film alternates between a portrait of an ‘everyman’ and clips of his unlikely career as porn-king.
The meteoric rise to fame of America’s most unlikely adult film star is a fascinating one and every guy would love to study how Jeremy has done it. How this classically unhandsome, overweight and hairy man has slept with thousands of the most beautiful women in the business and been paid well for doing it.
Jeremy was known for being one of the hardest-working film stars in the business and after 25 years in the industry had notched up more than 1,600 film credits.
The film cleverly contrasts Ron’s utterly normal off-camera persona (schlubby, likable, endlessly hustling) with his on-screen… talents.
Winning the Audience Awards for Best Feature and Best Documentary at the No Dance Film Festival in 2001, you can catch Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy on Netflix or Amazon.
8. 9 to 5: Days in Porn
| Released | 2008 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 53 mins |
| Directed by | Jens Hoffman |
| Starring | Audrey Hollander, Belladonna, Otto Bauer and John Stagliano |
Also known as The Porn Diaries, this German documentary (English-language) took five years to create and focuses on the porn industry of California’s San Fernando Valley.
Rather than focus on one star or scandal, director Jens Hoffmann introduces us to about a dozen people up and down the XXX food chain. It is a fascinating insight into the lives of some of the biggest names in porn. As well as the stars, 9 to 5: Days in Porn also depicts the stories of wannabes, crew and producers.
In all, these revealing chronicles are both glamorous yet repulsive, familiar but strange. The director has managed to capture the utter fascination we have with porn and presented it in an authentic and charming way that is both funny and moving.
The documentary was criticized by some but was broadly well received by critics with one film review site saying:
“Amazingly, director Jens Hoffman crafts a surprisingly objective film, one that shows both the ups and downs of an industry that contains plenty of them, while avoiding ever preaching to either side.”
It’s funny, it’s bleak, it’s human. It’s one of the most authentic portraits of porn-as-work you’ll ever see.
Screened at many international film festivals, you can watch 9 to 5: Days in Porn from several independent online streaming services.
9. Respectable: The Mary Millington Story
| Released | 2016 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 49 mins |
| Directed by | Simon Sheridan |
| Starring | Dudley Sutton, Dexter Fletcher and David Sullivan |
The UK’s first porn superstar wasn’t a 6’5” hung stud or a modern influencer – it was a tiny, spirited woman in the 1970s named Mary Millington. If you’ve never heard of her, Respectable is a fascinating intro.
Mary was a British glamour model-turned-softcore film star who achieved major notoriety in an era when pornography was very illegal in the UK. She lived fast, made money, rubbed shoulders with politicians and pop stars, and tragically died by suicide at just 33.
Along with three other suicide notes damning the police and the tax man, Millington wrote to her friend and colleague, pornographer, David Sullivan begging him to:
“…please print in your magazines how much I want porn to be legalised, but the police have beaten me.”
Respectable: The Mary Millington Story charts her career from glamour model to blue movies and features previously unseen footage, photographs and interviews. It is a respectful documentary that allows the story to tell itself without being sensational or exploitative.
A fitting tribute to Britain’s most famous porn star, you can stream this film from Amazon.
10. Porndemic
| Released | 2018 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 32 mins |
| Directed by | Spookie Daly |
| Starring | Ginger Lynn, Tom Byron, Mark Cromer, Bill Margold and Michael Louis Albo |
No, this isn’t about what you watched during COVID lockdown. Porndemic looks at an earlier epidemic – the 1998 HIV outbreak that rocked the porn world.
Marking twenty years since the virus caused widespread panic and rocked the core of the U.S. porn industry, this film tells the story using interviews from people who lived through it along with archival material.
The film doesn’t need to use cheap tactics to tell the story nor play up the element of shock as the adult film industry reeled from the outbreak – when one guy’s unfortunate night in Brazil (the suspected source of the infection) led to a domino effect shutting down all U.S. porn filming. It is a revealing film about a time before HIV testing was mandatory and before discussions about Proposition 60 were commonplace in California.
Porndemic is available to stream from Showtime.
11. A History of the Blue Movie
| Released | 1970 |
| Run Time | – |
| Directed by | Alex deRenzy |
| Starring | Bonnie Holiday and Candy Barr |
Featuring rare vintage erotica from 1915 through to 1975. Alex deRenzy’s A History of the Blue Movie is a rather rambling homage to antique and retro porn. It does suffer from being poorly edited at times and is quite plainly a vehicle for self-promotion (deRenzy includes some of his own work) but, nevertheless, is an interesting collection of porn ‘through the ages’.
The New York Times reviewed the documentary as ‘one of the year’s best’ films, going on to describe Blue Movie as ‘informative, honest’ and ‘titillating’.
Produced almost fifty years ago, this documentary is the first of its kind, offering an archive of some fascinating early porn that will be unfamiliar to many. Despite its rough edges, there’s a real charm here. It’s like attending a dirty movie night in a 1970s grindhouse theater, where a knowledgeable smut historian is walking you through Porn 101.
It deserves its place on this list not only because of the rarity of some of the footage but for its social and cultural significance of how blue movies used to be enjoyed in gentleman’s clubs, at stag dos or in brothels.
As a result of its age, there are very places you can stream this online – but you can pick up a DVD from online stores, including Amazon.
12. Naked Ambition: An R Rated Look at an X Rated Industry
| Released | 2009 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 21 mins |
| Directed by | Michael Grecco |
| Starring | Tera Patrick, David Lee, Michael Grecco, Rick Plank and Evan Seinfeld |
Celebrated photographer Michael Grecco directed this doc as a companion to his coffee-table book of the same name, and the vibe is very much photographer’s backstage pass. Grecco basically lived at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo and Awards (the Oscars of Porn) in Las Vegas for a year, camera in one hand and likely a martini in the other.
The documentary brings that experience to life.
Using interviews with big names like Larry Flynt, Jenna Jameson, Ron Jeremy, Stormy Daniels and Evan Stone, Naked Ambition is indeed an R rated glimpse into this XXX world.
It is not so much a candid behind-the-scenes expose but a celebration of the glitz and glamour of the industry. In this way, it has a refreshingly festive feel to it and is a great antidote to those porn documentaries that seek to demystify this world. So, if you like your porn documentaries not to spoil the magic but still get a sneaky look at Hollywood’s ‘dirty little secret’ then Naked Ambition is perfect.
You can watch this film via YouTube or Google Play.
13. Pornucopia: Going Down in the Valley
| Released | 2004 |
| Run Time | Mini-Series – 6 Episodes (3 hours) |
| Directed by | Dan Chaykin |
| Starring | Stormy Daniels, Jenna Haze, Jenna Jameson, Paul Fishbein and Katie Morgan |
HBO has never been shy about sex, and in the mid-2000s they gave us Pornucopia, a six-part mini-series that’s basically a no-frills ride-along with some of porn’s biggest names.
The series was a spin off from the popular Real Sex programme which ran for 19 years between 1990 and 2004.
Pornucopia is not hard hitting nor is it particularly revolutionary; however, it is very entertaining and does give a fascinating insight into the working and personal lives of iconic porn stars. Seeing how the actors can simply stop what they are doing ‘on cue’ before returning to the action is impressive.
Detractors of the series include fans who were disappointed not to see more sex but it is the very lack of sexiness that makes this documentary appealing. If you want to see Jenna Haze bouncing ball deep then you have plenty of choice already… but if you want to witness just how ‘normal’ these stars are then this is a great inside account.
There are a couple of streaming sites that offer Video-on-Demand for this film, including the major tube sites (broken into several parts).
14. Mostly Sunny
| Released | 2016 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 23 mins |
| Directed by | Dilip Mehta |
| Starring | Sunny Leone, Daniel Weber and Sundeep Vohra |
Sunny Leone is one of the most popular porn stars of the 21st century and, despite retiring in 2013 is still a regular in the lists of hottest adult film actresses.
How do you go from Canadian small-town girl to top Bollywood actress… by way of being a porn star in between? Mostly Sunny chronicles the improbable journey of this famous starlet, and it’s a fascinating study in contrasts.
Mostly Sunny charts Leone’s career as she moves away from the porn industry to pursue her dream of starring in Bollywood films. The documentary is far from the most revealing film about how to rebrand yourself in mainstream movies but will certainly appeal to anyone who has been bewitched by Leone’s porn performances.
Netflix is currently streaming this documentary but you can also pick it up on Blu-ray and DVD.
15. Family Business (TV Series)
| Released | 2003-2006 |
| Run Time | 37 Episodes over 4 series (Approx. 30 minutes each) |
| Directed by | Jay Blumenfield and Anthony Marsh |
| Starring | Mari Possa, Seymore Butts, Stevie Glasser and Lila Glasser |
A reality TV series based on the Glasser family, the head of whom (Adam Glasser) is a porn star and director known as Seymore Butts. Together with his mum (Lila), son (Brady) and cousin (Stevie), the family business is in porn production. Yes, you read that right: Mum and Cousin help produce his porn. If that setup doesn’t hook you, I don’t know what will.
The series won an AVN Award in 2005 for Best Alternative Release and had a cult following when it was originally aired over a decade ago.
Family Business is not so much an expose into the multi-million dollar adult film industry, but a light hearted look at those who work on the periphery. The docu-series cameras capture everything from awkward dinner table conversations about anal scenes, to Lila answering fan phone calls while knitting, to family disputes about how risqué a film’s script should be. The absurdity is off the charts, and all it’s all devilishly watchable.
You can pick up complete series on DVD via stores like Amazon.
16. Louis Theroux: Twilight of the Porn Stars
| Released | 2012 |
| Run Time | 1 hour |
| Directed by | Jason Mascot |
| Starring | Louis Theroux, Rob Black, Xander Corvus, Tommy Gunn and Ben English |
The quirky American-British filmmaker, Louis Theroux first delved into the Californian porn world in 1997 as part of his Louis Theroux’s Wild Weekends series. In this follow-up to what was a portrait of a booming industry, we find a much-changed landscape.
Twilight of the Porn Stars depicts the dwindling studios and squeezed economics in the wake of the popular rise of free internet porn.
In hindsight, this film may not seem quite so startling as it did when it was first released almost seven years ago but it does provide some interesting insights into how dynamic the industry has been to recover since this time.
Theroux’s trademark style of letting his subjects talk to fill the naïve silences he leaves works well with the material here and this documentary is an easy watch. It’s certainly not hard to see why this American Brit has been commissioned to make so many documentaries on subjects as controversial as swinging, Thai brides and the female body-building fetish scene.
He has an infectious charm that evokes intimacy from his interviewees and Twilight of the Porn Stars is all the better for it.
You can catch this documentary through Netflix and other streaming services including BBC iPlayer (UK only).
17. Pornocracy: The New Sex Multinationals
| Released | 2017 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 17 mins |
| Directed by | Ovidie |
| Starring | Grégory Dorcel, Leyla Bentho, Julia Grandi, Arwen Gold and Tera Patrick |
As the digital age ushers out the traditional format of porn on DVD, and with most millennials choking at the idea of paying for porn, this documentary looks at the way the porn industry makes its money on the internet.
French filmmaker Ovidie does exactly that, pulling back the curtain on the shadowy empires running online porn. If you’ve ever wondered, “How the hell do those free tube sites make money, and is someone getting screwed over?”, this doc has answers.
Ovidie, herself a former porn performer and director, investigates how one company (Aylo, though they’re not named directly) quietly bought up Pornhub, Brazzers, YouPorn, etc., creating a near-monopoly that controls both the distribution and production of a huge chunk of internet porn. It’s like the Illuminati of smut, you could say, and Ovidie is on a mission to expose their tactics.
It takes a long look at illegal tube sites and piracy as well as amateur content that (according to some) is forcing the industry to make more and more extreme material in order to compete. An exploration in some of the shadier aspects of porn financing, there is a constant question of how economics is driving porn rather than demand.
There will be many people who watch Pornocracy: The New Sex Multinationals who will not be swayed by some of the theories – and it is hard not to poke holes in the belief that, before the internet, the porn industry was less ruthless. Wherever your sentiments, this doc shines light on a real issue: the corporate monopolization of online porn.
18. X Rated Ambition: The Traci Lords Story
| Released | 2003 |
| Run Time | 50 mins |
| Directed by | Simon Kerslake |
| Starring | Traci Lords (archive), Jim South, Tom Byron, Ginger Lynn and Suze Randall |
Traci Lords: the ultimate porn scandal in one name. If you don’t know the story, buckle up…this British documentary lays it out in 50 wild minutes.
Lords, famously only 15 when she started her career in adult movies, was only active in porn for a two year period but has gone on to become one of the biggest household porn star names in North America.
She appeared in about 100 porn films and magazines, becoming one of the biggest stars of the era… only for the FBI to reveal she had been underage (15–17 years old) the whole time, using a fake ID.
Sh-iiiiit... said an entire industry.
X Rated Ambition features interviews from photographers, agents and other porn stars of the era as they tell the story of how Lords became the center of one of the industry’s most controversial scandals of the 1980s.
It’s a fascinating story of how just one woman brought such a huge industry to its knees and the director, Simon Kerslake, has put together an intelligent narrative. Think you know the whole story? Chances are you don’t but you will once you’ve seen this documentary.
There are some clips online for this film but you will need to pick up the DVD to see it in full.
19. Kink
| Released | 2013 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 20 mins |
| Directed by | Christina Voros |
| Starring | Jessie Lee, Peter Acworth, Chris Norris and Maitresse Madeline |
Ever browse Kink.com and wonder, “Are these performers actually having fun being tied up and flogged like that?” James Franco (of all people) wondered too, and he executive-produced Kink to answer the question.
This documentary explores the world of fetish porn, framed by using the popular Kink.com website. It’s a fascinating perspective and choosing one of the world’s largest BDSM porn producers, Franco is able to offer up a contradiction to the widely-held beliefs that this kind of porn is exploitative and dangerous.
Kink quite powerfully depicts a world of safe, consensual and intelligent porn that works powerfully to demystify this sector of the industry.
If porn documentaries are meant to educate as well as entertain the Kink deserves its place on our list and we were fascinated by the people whose stories are told in this film. Charismatic and ambitious, the subjects of this documentary will challenge your preconceptions and could open up a new subculture to your regular porn viewing repertoire.
You can find this excellent documentary on Video-On-Demand services like Vimeo or via Amazon.
20. Porno e libertà (Porn to be Free)
| Released | 2016 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 18 mins |
| Directed by | Carmine Amoroso |
| Starring | Ilona Staller, Lasse Braun, Marco Giusti, Riccardo Schicchi and Judith Malina |
Porn to be Free takes a closer look at pioneers who fought against censorship laws across Europe and North America from the early 1970s through to more modern times. It is documentary that follows a rebellious group of filmmakers, writers and actors who took on religious, political and moral groups to defend freedom of speech.
It is subtitled in English and uses archive footage, exclusive interviews and well-known content to explore this fight for sexual freedom.
Mostly covering the European ‘battles’ fought during the 1970s and featuring stars like Schiccchi, Braun, Staller and Giusti the interspersion of erotic film footage with vox pops and newsreels from the day are deftly woven to paint a picture of revolution.
Porn to be Free may not depict the February Revolution in which the proletariat unseat the bourgeoise but you may still find yourself chanting ‘let them eat cake’ by the end of this rabble-rousing (if, slightly self-aggrandizing) documentary.
Not a Love Story: A Film About Pornography
| Released | 1982 |
| Run Time | 1 hour 9 mins |
| Directed by | Bonnie Sherr Klein |
| Starring | Lindalee Tracey, Bonnie Sherr Klein and Marc Steves |
A documentary directed by the noted feminist filmmaker, Bonnie Sherr Klein, Not a Love Story was bound not to be a supportive one for the industry. Yet, although the film does explore the violent depictions of sex in porn from a female perspective, it is not simply an anti-pornographic statement.
Yes, there is much about exploitation and misogyny as you would expect from the cast of the 1980s scene plus a pretty biased narrative.
However, it is a fascinating historical account of the porn industry at this time. Released in the early 1980s, you can’t help but watch this documentary with benefit of hindsight and try to imagine how Sherr Klein would be framing her narrative now in the digital age of porn.
You can find some low quality uploads of this movie via the likes of YouTube or you can find some high quality versions through digital archive sites.
