Combining archive news footage, film clips and brand new interviews with many of the important figures on both sides of the nasty debate such as video distributors, filmmakers, retailers, politicians, moral guardians and experts on the subject, BAN THE SADIST VIDEOS! tells for the first time the full story behind this very British problem.
