This very good documentary explores the history of exploitation films. The movie's about the often overlooked genre of cinema and finds it's populated by shameless hucksters, carnival barkers turned film producers, guys and gals just looking to make a buck and it discusses the shocking origins of this popular, but sometimes hidden entertainment.
The film features John Landis, Joe Dante, Jack Hill, Fred Williamson, Allison Anders, Larry Cohen, William Lustig, Herschell Gordon Lewis, David Hess, Fred Olen Ray and is narrated by Robert Forster.
I can hear some say, "Jerry, how many documentaries about films can you watch?"
Well, quite a lot it seems.
