Larry Flynt

A documentary that celebrates and examines an unabashed vulgarian.

Wet those lips and get ready for this mouth-watering story of the success behind the infamous magazine, Hustler. Founded and published by the notorious 'King of Sleaze' Larry Flynt, Hustler has become known as one of the most explicit adult magazines ever created. Framed by a conversation between director Michael Lee Nirenberg and his father Bill, who served as Art & Creative Director for Hustler in the late 70s to early 80s, Back Issues: The Hustler Magazine Story features for the first time ever, interviews with employees, photographers, writers, lawyers, models, and the King of Sleaze himself Larry Flynt, all sharing their views on the history of the volatile publishing powerhouse. As pages of the infamous magazine flip by, we learn about Flynt's rise to meteoric success, that 'Meat Grinder' cover, Hustler's controversial 'Think Pink' days and those naked Jackie O pictures! While Flynt candidly shares stories of his notorious court cases, assassination attempts and lets not forget his campaign for Presidency!
