An anthropology student exploring the nature of prostitution is drawn deeper into that profession than she ever expected.
THE NAKED FEMINIST challenges the myths surrounding women in the porn industry while exploring preconceived notions of control, pleasure and exploitation. Through candid behind the scenes interviews with pornstars, academics and feminists this informative and straight-talking documentary strips away the ideological straitjacket surrounding the decades-old porn versus feminist debate by demonstrating that strong, inspirational women are found in all walks of life - including pornography.
The film investigates explicit representations of female sexuality by women, exploring the pragmatic and philosophical questions they pose, with emphasis on the ways in which the creation of women-friendly pornography confronts and alters the expectations of male consumers. Ultimately, Nitoslawska is concerned with how we comprehend desire, gender and identity, how we understand and represent its history, and the resulting affect on culture and human relations.
A snapshot of the porn industry in the San Fernando Valley focusing on a handful of people: Luke Ford, a reporter who breaks the industry's gentlemen's agreement and writes about actors who have HIV/AIDS; Kimberley Jade, a veteran actress who contracts AIDS; Katie June, who arrives in Los Angeles from the South, going on 20, with dreams of becoming a porn star and with her mother's approval; Jim South, who runs a talent agency; and, William Margold, an aging factotum. Others appear on camera to round out a portrait of a busy industry that's lucrative for some and dangerous for others.
Porn star and producer, Christi Lake is one of the best-known porn stars of the 90’s. This leggy vixen was born in Michigan back on December 12th, 1965. She was raised in Michigan and Minnesota. After high school, Christi worked in a factory and video store. She determined factory life was too boring for her, she ended up entering an amateur contest at a local strip club one night on a dare. She enjoyed dancing so much that she quit her job and continued dancing at the club. Christi started looking into the swinging lifestyle while she was a dancer, and was soon attending swinger conventions. When at a convention she was approached about doing some magazine pictorials, and was flown to New York to do a couple shoots. The magazine that did the layout of her asked her to sign autographs in their booth at CES, where she was repeatedly told that she should do porn movies. After much thought, Christi made the big leap to try it out. In late 1995, Lake flew to LA to try a few movies and see if she enjoyed it. By the end of her third movie, Christi was hooked into the adult film industry. She performed in about 200 movies between 1995 and 2004, and directed at least seven.
