Bay Area educators and community folks volunteered and appeared in this student film that was meant to be for a class project at SFSU - 10 minutes was the requested project amount from the instructor.
Well, the film-makers ended up making one of best intro to BDSM documentary movies that I have ever seen in my many years in this lifestyle.
The film quality, lighting, editing and artistic approach quite exceptional.
It is a great film for educators, mental health professionals, and other sex-educators.
It is offers a sex-positive approach which takes the Newbie step-by-step in a PG-13 manner.
The film has been on the film festival circuit and receiving rave reviews.
This film is a classic and very much needed as an education tool.
Every University and college that has an ethnic studies, social justice, counseling, psychology, and sociology departments should have this as part of their teaching tool presentation.
All medical school should have this so that doctors can deal with a variety of lifestyles in a healthy manner.
This will reduce the stigma and also redefine the various pathologies that are in the DSM-IV-TR books (American Psychology Association).
If general, people should be exposed to various orientation and lifestyle that they are not familiar with.
This one offers the real deal ( not from a research point of view) the people and educators involved in the topic of BDSM/Fetish/Kinky, alternative loving and adult play.
About the documentary Quoted from their website: "Topics of pain, abuse, stereotypes, race and community are broached in BDSM: Its Not What You Think! Mixing interviews, dramatizations and archival footage, this funny and educational film picks the brains of various Bay Area kinksters in order to debunk some of the myths surrounding BDSM play."
