9to5: Days in Porn

2008 · 113 min

An unglamorous, matter-of-fact look at the daily grind of an extreme industry, by turns mundane, absurd and quietly sad.

Overview
9to5 - Days in Porn focuses on the people behind a controversial and multi-billion dollar industry "The Adult Entertainment industry". It depicts their stories, each one different, unadorned and authentic, without glorification or prejudice. It delivers deep insight into their personal lives - from glamorous to grotesque - strange, fascinating, offensive, absurd and sometimes funny moments all at once.
