In the late 1960's the New York Times and many other media outlets named San Francisco "The Smut Capital of the United States." This honorary title grew from both the reality and the myth of San Francisco, a city where the sexual revolution could be seen on the streets and soon in the movie theaters. This short uses first person interviews and historical research to tell the story of the development of hardcore pornography hitting the big screen. "It happened in 1969, and it happened in San Francisco."
