Взрослый бизнес: История Pornhub (2023)

Интересные факты

Money Shot: The Pornhub Story is a 2023 Netflix documentary about Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek. It presents interview footage from sex workers, former Pornhub employees, journalists, and anti-sex-trafficking figures. The documentary focuses on a 2020 scandal over Pornhub hosting non-consensual pornography, including of children, and how the aftermath affected pornographic performers.

Production

The documentary was released on streaming platform Netflix on March 15, 2023, in around 65 countries. It was directed by Suzanne Hillinger and edited by her wife Alexis Johnson. Netflix approached Jigsaw Productions about making a documentary on Pornhub and corporate responsibility. The first scenes shot were with Bowe on the day he filed a legal complaint.

Hillinger described the central focus as "what sexuality and consent means when billion-dollar internet platforms thrive on user-generated content". Hillinger aimed for it to facilitate "important conversations about sex and consent". Hillinger said that issues with non-consensual content applied to the entirety of the internet, not just Pornhub.

Hillinger said that many ex-Aylo employees had signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with the company and were "really, really scared" to participate in the documentary. Adora put Hillinger into contact with Perdue, who was "rightly suspicious" at first. In addition to being interviewed, Perdue served as an archivist and fact-checker for the documentary.

Hillinger wanted to center sex workers because she felt that they were underrepresented in Kristof's op-ed and media reporting. She did not give interviewees the right to approve the edited footage of them that was used. Hillinger said she opened conversations by acknowledging that subjects would be suspicious of her and stating that the documentary would not have a narrator.

DeVille wrote in Rolling Stone that campaigns presenting as anti-sex-trafficking were right-wing, Christian, and anti-porn, and that Hillinger said the film would present this narrative. Though skeptical of being interviewed, DeVille agreed to participate, choosing to use soft colors and wear clothing that covered her skin to mitigate being portrayed as unintelligent or untruthful.
