New Documentary Captures America's Debate Over 'Epidemic' of Internet Pornography

Salt Lake City (PRWEB) May 6, 2007 -- On the heels of the Child Online Protection Act (COPA) being struck down for the third time since 1998, independent film company Living Biography today announced the release of their feature-length documentary, "Traffic Control: The People's War on Internet Porn." Produced by Living Biography, in conjunction with Lake of Fire Productions, the made-for-DVD film takes viewers on a journey of opinions, experiences, and perspectives from people across America on the topic of Internet pornography and how easy minors and business employees have access to it. The film captures a controversial and important debate around First Amendment rights, society's obligation to protect children from unwanted and graphic Internet content, and an alternative solution called the Internet Community Port Act that could change the Internet as we know it.

From January to November 2006, Living Biography crews traveled around the nation and shot more than 200 hours of footage interviewing adult entertainment peddlers, ex-porn stars, psychological experts, business owners, technologists, Internet porn addicts, educators, members of the Free Speech Coalition, and hundreds of teenagers.

"Of all the fifteen year-olds I know that see porn? - about every one that I know…" comments a 15-year old boy.

"We don't market to kids. Kids, first of all, don't have any money. Second of all, they are really not interested in adult content." Michele Freridge, executive director, Free Speech Coalition.

The film also follows the efforts of Ralph Yarro to create the Internet Community Port Act (aka Internet Channel Initiative), a controversial piece of legislation that, for the first time, makes online pornography regulation possible without infringing on First Amendment rights. According to Yarro, "By creating two Internet channels (think television channels) - a Community Channel to access all general purpose content and an Open Channel for adult content - both freedom of speech and freedom of choice are put back into the hands of the people."

"We decided to make this film after hearing about Ralph's initiative," says Bryan Hall, film director/co-founder, Living Biography. What came loud and clear from the people we interviewed was first, online adult content is everywhere, and second, they were open to new approaches to regulating this content. What we learned was shocking - the inability to effectively manage this type of content has dramatic social and business ramifications for our society. We realized this was an issue that demanded broader exposure."

"The efforts by the government to legislate controls for online pornography have been, frankly, politically visible, but completely ineffective," says John Carosella, VP of Content Control, Blue Coat Systems and Internet parenting expert, featured in the film. "And the efforts have been marginal, at best. COPA was flawed when it was written in 1998. Why are we still arguing about it? We need a serious investment of intellect, creativity, and effort from all the key stakeholders - content providers, technology providers, ISPs, the community, and the government - or more and more kids and businesses will suffer devastating consequences. This is a community problem that requires community action - no single person can solve this problem. If we as a society can't get together on this issue, it's a loser's game."

Traffic Control is the first of three full-length films slated to follow the affect of Internet pornography on our society, and America's demand to regulate it. Traffic Control screenings are being arranged in cities across the country, and as a call to action towards providing a safe Internet experience for today's children, a free 'action kit' providing the tools needed to fight against unregulated Internet pornography is available at www.trafficcontrolthemovie.com. Traffic Control retails for $19.95 and can be purchased through the Web site. The second feature-length installment is set to release in spring 2008.
