Movie Background

Damaged: The Very British Obscenity of David Hamilton-Grant

Delves into the provocative career of the enigmatic British filmmaker and distributor David Hamilton-Grant, the sole supplier to be imprisoned for releasing a "video nasty". In the 70s he navigated loopholes in the law to produce and screen smut in an extremely censorship-restricted Britain. When the home video boom hit in the 80s he was among the first to capitalize on the initially far less regulated format... but he would pay the price. Then things get really dark and strange.
