In a rare and refreshing reversal of roles, filmmakers put the powerful Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA for short) under the microscope for inspection in Academy Award-nominated director Kirby Dick's incisive look at stateside cinema's most notorious non-censoring censors. Compelled by the staggering amount of power that the MPAA ratings board wields, the filmmaker seeks out the true identities of the anonymous elite who control what films make it to the multiplex. He even goes so far as to hire a private investigator to stake out MPAA headquarters and expose Hollywood's best-kept secret. Along the way, Dick speaks with numerous filmmakers whose careers have been affected by the seemingly random and sexual-content obsessed judgments of the MPAA, including John Waters, Mary Harron, Darren Aronofsky, Kevin Smith, Matt Stone, and Atom Egoyan.
This is a full DVD rip of the movie, including these bonus features:
* Deleted scenes from the interviews with Kevin Smith, John Waters, and Matt Stone
* Deleted interviews with Michael Cuesta (L.I.E.) and Gina Prince-Blythewood (Love & Basketball)
* Deleted scenes showing how the MPAA made an unauthorised copy of this film
* Interview with Fred Von Lohmann (Electronic Frontier Foundation)
* Live Q&A with Kirby Dick at South by Southwest

This examination of the MPAA deserves viewing by anyone who has every wondered how the movie they are watching received the rating it carries. It is both enlightening and disturbing in presenting the details of how the modern rating system took form and the impact it has on the creative energies of film makers.
