WWW- [trafficcontrolthemovie.com]- Traffic Control is a feature-length, made-for-DVD documentary film that takes viewers on a journey of opinions, experiences, and perspectives from people across America on the topic of Internet pornography and how easy minors and business employees have access to it.
The film captures a controversial and important debate around First Amendment rights, society’s obligation to protect children from unwanted and graphic Internet content, and an alternative solution called the Internet Community Port Act that could change the Internet as we know it.
From January to November 2006, Living Biography crews traveled around the nation and shot more than 200 hours of footage interviewing adult entertainment peddlers, ex-porn stars, psychological experts, business owners, technologists, Internet porn addicts, educators, members of the Free Speech Coalition, and hundreds of teenagers.
The film also follows the efforts of technologist Ralph Yarro to create the Internet Community Port Act, also known as CP80 (Community Port 80), a controversial piece of legislation that, for the first time, makes online pornography regulation possible without infringing on First Amendment rights. Ironically, one voice is missing in the film: Our political leaders.
Intertwined within the debate are the heartbreaking and heartwarming stories of two unlikely heroes: ex-porn stars. Theirs is not a tale of “rags to riches” but rather of rock bottom to redemption. The road they have traveled is an ominous parallel to the condition of our own country in its current state: a quagmire of self-destruction and addiction. Miraculously, they were both given a once in a lifetime chance to change their course and become something they never believed possible. Will America do the same?
Produced by Living Biography, in conjunction with Lake of Fire Productions, Traffic Control is the first of three full-length films slated to follow the affect of Internet pornography on our society, and America’s demand to regulate it.
