Consent
Is society trying to protect porn performers by vilifying porn producers, and trying to restrict the ability of those performers to freely express their sexuality? This movie lets actual performers and producers speak for themselves. Seeing hardcore porn performers talk about what they like with regard to stronger, rougher sex - and then seeing them do those very acts - is uniquely powerful; it speaks to the importance of consent and what that personally means to them.
