Unrated(2023)

Unrated is a documentary series that traces the evolution of sex, sexuality, and gender representation in cinema across a century of filmmaking. Host Maggie Mae Fish examines how these themes emerged in silent films, proliferated through the sexploitation boom, and shaped contemporary erotic cinema. The series unpacks the cultural forces, industry standards, and artistic choices that defined each era, revealing how filmmakers pushed boundaries and reflected—or challenged—the sexual attitudes of their time. From early censorship battles to the rise of explicit independent films, Unrated offers a frank, scholarly look at one of cinema's most contentious subjects. It's essential viewing for anyone interested in film history, cultural criticism, or how movies have navigated desire and identity on screen.
