Netflix’s original series have been massive hits with viewers, including Bridgerton, Stranger Things, and You. However, the streaming media company is now gearing up to release a new documentary film about Pornhub, the contentious sex video platform with user-uploaded content.
On March 15, 2023, “Money Shot: The Pornhub Story” will make its global Netflix debut. The upcoming documentary will feature interviews with performers, activists, and former employees and takes a close look at the controversies and scandals as well as the success of the porn website.
The Netflix description for Money Shot states that it will explore how Pornhub assisted in bringing adult content creators “a massive audience while the company made billions of dollars — but it also became embroiled in allegations including non-consensual material and trafficking on the site.”
“As anti-trafficking organizations seek justice for victims, can the online giant protect those from whom they profit, or is this a new wave of censorship for adult performers making consensual porn?”
Money Shot director Suzanne Hillinger stated, “This documentary requires us to grapple with what sexuality and consent means when billion-dollar internet platforms thrive on user-generated content.”
“Who has, and who should have, the power in these environments? Our hope is that this film generates important conversations about sex and consent, both on the internet and out in the world.”
The documentary film is produced by Jigsaw Productions while Nicki Carrico serves as producer. The executive producers will be Richard Perello and Stacey Offman. Keep an eye on Thirsty For News to get more updates.
