From the liner notes

Rated X: A Journey Through Porn is a feature length documentary that follows filmmaker Dag Yngvesson as he traces the routes into and out of the porn business, looking at work in the sex trade as it begins to adapt to its newfound legality and acceptability. Through talking to people at every level in the creation of pornography, (from a 19 year old former waitress who had joined 3 days before to some of the founding fathers dating to the late 60's), we gain an insight on where this slow to change industry is really headed, and how it plans to deal with the looming specters of HIV, racism, and deep rooted misogyny.

After spending several months behind the scenes, Dag is asked by a desperate porn director to shoot his next project. Although extremely reluctant at first, he accepts on the premise that he can fully document the whole experience. What results is an inside look at the trials and tribulations of shooting a porn flick, that turns into a more personal portrait of the star, Jeanna Fine. Although she is a ten year pornography veteran, her many battles with drugs and self destruction make her an unlikely long term survivor in the industry, as well as wife and a mother of a 1 year old boy.
