Bound and Gagged: Graphic Documentary @ Hallwalls

The award winning documentary will be presented at Hallwalls, Friday, February 12th, at 8 PM. Graphic Sexual Horror examines the subterranean world of bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism (BDSM), and the infamous bondage website Insex.com, so naughty it was shut down by Homeland Security in 2005.

Barbara Bell and Anna Lorentzon directed the 2009 documentary and previously worked at Insex.com as respective photographers and screenwriters.
