Watch the trailer for “Hardcore,”
ep. 3 of Beyond Fantasy

Our film “Hardcore,” which releases at 6:30 p.m. PDT this Thursday, spotlights the gut-wrenching genre of violent pornography.

Women and girls are being lured and coerced into shooting scenes where they are sexually assaulted, and millions of people are consuming this content as “entertainment.”

Exodus Cry’s mission is to eradicate commercial sexual exploitation wherever it exists. In the Beyond Fantasy series, we expose rampant exploitation in the porn industry, filled with the conviction that, together, we can bring sweeping change.

What happens on violent porn sets is dangerous, often criminal, and it’s lining the pockets of sadistic porn producers. 

This is not a film we wanted to make. It’s one we were compelled to make.

After uncovering these atrocities, we felt a responsibility to shout about it from the rooftops—we believe many of you will feel that same zeal for justice after watching it.

This story must be told.

Exodus Cry’s founder and the film’s director, Benjamin Nolot, and our VP of Impact, Helen Taylor, took a few minutes to discuss why a film like this is necessary and to help viewers navigate the weighty emotions they may feel during and after watching it.

We strongly encourage you to watch this short video before viewing the film!

We firmly believe this film will inspire desperately needed change in the massively under-regulated porn production landscape, and bring heart-piercing conviction to porn consumers everywhere.

As is to be expected in a film of this subject matter, it comes with a strong trigger warning.

“Hardcore” is not meant to merely offer a discussion about the harms of violent porn, it’s meant to boldly expose it. 

This means that, in addition to interviews with porn industry professionals, it includes short clips from violent porn scenes (we’ve blurred all nudity).

We know this is a difficult subject. Sometimes the only path to change is straight through the mire. 

Be sure to tune in for the live premiere on Thursday, March 23 at 6:30 p.m. PDT on our Magic Lantern Pictures YouTube channel. 

Thank you for joining us on this journey!

For freedom,

Exodus Cry and Magic Lantern Pictures
