This film celebrates and examines an unabashed vulgarian first known for Hustler magazine’s lack of restraint. His life story includes personal loss and public First Amendment battles. We learn about the death of his first wife, Althea, and the lasting impact of the 1978 shooting that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Flynt’s free speech exploits, marked by brazen courtroom outbursts and anti-hypocrisy theatrics, make him a target for both praise and criticism. His face-offs with Jerry Falwell, anti-porn feminists and various politicians that continue up to the present day are set against his obvious pride in his diversification into new ways to produce and exhibit porn.
