- The Sexual Obsession of Joe SarnoD1
The Sexual Obsession of Joe SarnoThis documentary provides a portrait of the late Joe Sarno, one of the pioneering directors of the 1960s ‘sexploitation’ film genre. Known for a distinctly economic style and an abiding interest in tense, psycho-sexual character development, Sarno has come to be recognised as one of the true auteurs to emerge from the sexploitation form. The program includes archival footage from his films and interviews with Sarno, his wife, and expert cinephiles.

Boob Tube: Sex, TV And Ugly George Explores censorship and public decency on television using the example of the infamous 1970s 'filmmaker', Ugly George. George was host, cameraman and producer of a lewd cable access television show. With a camera taped to his backpack, he would roam the streets of New York City in search of women who were willing to reveal their naked bodies for his television program. He was surprisingly successful. Reviled by many for his sexist attitude, he was also admired by others who saw his program as revolutionary.

The ship is the last hope for so many – and for the lucky ones, doctors will carry out lifesaving operations on unbelievable cases, many of which do not exist outside of West Africa and have never been seen before by these doctors. Nonetheless, the volunteer medics must make on-the-spot life-and-death decisions. The young nurses and doctors will be challenged to the limits of their training and abilities. - Wild Iran
