A Television documentary commissioned by Channel Four (UK). The programme charts the history of hardcore pornography on film, dating back to the turn of the 20th century. Utilsing rare vintage archive, and original interview material of British and American pornographers, the documentary explores the parallels between mainstream cinema and hardcore porn, underlining the changes that have taken place in the industry since the advent of video, and following a veteran pornographer onto the set of his latest video offering.
A young boy dies after swimming at a seaside resort, and the local children, led by Gavin, investigate and are led to suspect that contamination from a nearby nuclear plant is to blame. Their teacher is sympathetic, but has broken into her house, perhaps as a warning. Gavin is nearly killed after talking about the problem on TV, but gradually all is uncovered - with terrible consequences for Gavin.
