From Straight A's to XXX (2017 TV Movie)
8/10
I'm a feminist who does porn for men
26 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This is a Lifetime made for TV (TV-14) film based on the true story of porn star Belle Knox because guys don't watch girls named Miriam Weeks (Haley Pullos). She was a student at Duke and decided on her own to go into the adult film industry to pay for tuition. Needless to say she couldn't keep the secret as every guy at Duke watches porn.

The film does two things: First it attempts to normalize or legitimize the porn industry as main stream adult. Miriam reached out to the industry. In many ways this is good as it eliminates the need to have fake model auditions and coerce young ladies into the industry with fake promises. The second thing it shows is that once you do porn, you are branded a porn star forever. (There are exceptions.) That is what people will always see and it makes former and new relationships difficult. Bikini shots and scenes pushing the TV-14 rating.

Filmed in Canada.
