Raw! Uncut! Video! takes you deep into the uncompromising gay fetish world of Palm Drive Video, the legendary porn studio founded by Jack Fritscher and Mark Hemry. They had it all: from bondage and piss play to solo fetish porn. Their films celebrated self-expression and kink without shame or censorship. With the grainy aesthetics of early VHS, every scene feels intimate, raw and underground.

But this documentary is more than just the history of a porn studio. Raw! Uncut! Video! shows how porn can also become a form of community, creativity, and resistance. An energetic tribute to sex-positivity, queer imagination, and the radical freedom of making “dirty movies”.
