This 45 minute documentary by Mark Hejnar is a sort of Whitman's Sampler of sickness, chronicling such wildly diverse and extreme personalities as G.G. Allin, Mike Diana, Full Force Frank, GLOD, Annie Sprinkle, and others. This collection of short clips and vile moments is certainly NOT for the squeamish, as these are the artists and performers who have taken the term "free expression" to it's limits--and beyond.
Direction
Hejnar's cheap DV aesthetic amplifies the grime perfectly.
Production

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in the mid-90s NYC underground, this captures the last gasp of pre-internet shock culture before everything went online and lost its danger.
G.G. Allin died of a heroin overdose shortly after filming; his funeral became its own performance piece with open-casket photos.
