I'm watching the 'Porn Shutdown' doc on Sundance channel...fascinating and disturbing stuff...
http://imdb.com/title/tt0462483/plotsummary
Porn Shutdown documents the story of Lara Roxx, a female porn star who contracted HIV from unprotected sex while shooting a hardcore porn movie involving two men. Darren James - one of the male performers - was HIV positive - and he's believed to have infected Lara. This honest film will report how America's porn industry was shutdown overnight for 60 days as the entire hardcore pornography community - consisting of some 1200 performers - underwent AIDS tests. Tragically, two more women were diagnosed HIV positive. Against one woman's story of naivety and manipulation, this topical investigation will show how America's right wing Administration is using the HIV scare to vigorously crack down on the porn industry in this election year. It will also touch on the debate that more regulation is needed while others suggest caution as it could drive the industry underground.
