Exodus Cry Releases Highly Anticipated Second Episode "Unsafe Sex" in Groundbreaking Documentary Series "Beyond Fantasy"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Exodus Cry Exposes Dangers of Porn Industry in Second Episode of Groundbreaking Documentary Series

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, February 16, 2023 - Globally influential nonprofit Exodus Cry and Magic Lantern Pictures, the award-winning production company behind some of the most thought-provoking documentaries of the past decade, are proud to announce the launch of the highly anticipated second episode in their three-part miniseries, Beyond Fantasy. Entitled “Unsafe Sex,” this episode delves into the STI crisis in the porn industry, just a month after a chlamydia outbreak caused all filming in the industry to shut down for a week.

“Unsafe Sex” features ex-porn performer Cameron Bay, alongside many other porn industry performers, blowing the whistle on the appalling lack of industry safety measures, revealing how performers are at extreme risk of many incurable infections.

Weeks after Bay took part in a public humiliation sex scene produced by a major porn company, she tearfully announced that she had contracted HIV. The film investigates the porn industry’s rug-sweeping complicity in endangering the lives of performers who are kept in the dark until it's too late. Beyond Fantasy is a documentary miniseries that exposes how the mainstream porn industry creates provocative content in a landscape of ethical violation, coercion, and abuse. 

“Beyond Fantasy is a hard-hitting exposé that sheds light on the most crucial issues facing the porn industry and our world,” said Benjamin Nolot, who spent eight years researching and investigating the porn industry to produce the series. “While the content is difficult to watch, it’s something that can’t be ignored. I believe it will catalyze critical awareness and change.”

“Unsafe Sex” premieres tonight, February 16 at 6:30pm PST on YouTube and on the film’s website, beyondfantasy.com.

The first episode of Beyond Fantasy, "Barely Legal," was released to critical acclaim, quickly garnered over one million views, and sparked a national conversation about the insidious plague of pornography content that romanticizes sex with underage girls in the United States. With “Unsafe Sex,” Exodus Cry continues their mission to challenge viewers to confront the normalization of sexual exploitation and to work for meaningful change.
