It certainly was an ambitious effort though there was a heavy-handed effort at making the industry a little too sad.
It would have been better served with a little more balance-not everyone who enters the business gets sucked up and spat out by it. In truth, all industries do that-when they are done with you-you are out. Some handle it better than others.
I most enjoyed William Margold, and Kimberly Jade. They seemed to be the most straight-forward of the crowd of those interviewed.
Of all the "names" listed as uncredited, none of those (who seemed to be successful at life in general, reasonably happy with their choice of work-despite the controversial nature of it)persons, perhaps with the exception of Randy West, and Richard Pacheco, had any sort of interview time.
Like all lines of work, some have a good life with what they do while others allow themselves to get destroyed by it.
Of the slew of documentaries on this subject, I've seen better.
If you are curious about this industry, I suggest watching it. Not great but not bad either.
I just got a little impatient with the attempts to paint the participants in a certain light.
