My Son the Pornographer
Canada 2008. Director: Peter Campbell

"A man embarks on an emotional journey into the European porn industry to try and persuade his son to come home to Canada to face personal demons. Art Holbrook [a filmmaker in Victoria, B.C.] wants to reconnect with his rebellious stepson Kole Kerr, but he’s appalled by Kole’s work as a writer and actor in porn films in Prague. Art thinks it’s degrading and soul-destroying work, but he also sees a link between Kole’s lifestyle and the sexual abuse Kole experienced as a young child. The film is a candid portrait of a painful father-and-son relationship that explores the stresses that can tear families apart and the tentative, and sometimes humorous, steps toward healing" (CBC Newsworld).
