Pornocracy: The New Sex Multinationals (2017)

In the provocative documentary, Pornocracy: The New Sex Multinationals, former French adult film star, director, feminist, and documentarist, Ovidie, embarks on an investigative journey into the heart of the rapidly declining adult film industry. With her insider's perspective, she unveils the drastic shifts that have reshaped the once-thriving world of pornography, a landscape now marred by rampant piracy and the rise of free online "tube" sites. Ovidie unveils the startling transformation of an industry that once bloomed in the golden age of DVDs but is now gasping for breath in the clutch of internet piracy. The once-bountiful profits of adult filmmaking have dwindled, forcing performers into increasingly extreme scenes for meager earnings. Yet, amidst this bleak picture, a question arises: If the performers and producers are barely scraping by, who then reaps the benefits in this new world order of pornography? As the film delves deeper into the shadowy realms where technology and desire intersect, it paints a compelling portrait of an industry at the crossroads, caught between the wonders of the internet that once enriched it and the very same forces that now threaten its existence. Pornocracy: The New Sex Multinationals is a gripping exploration of the power dynamics in today's digital sex industry, revealing a truth that is as fascinating as it is unsettling.
