Rate It X (Blu-ray) ***Preorder*** 12/15

Rate It X stunned audiences and critics of 1985 with its unflinching look at how deeply sexism is embedded in American media and culture. Directors Lucy Winer and Paula de Koenigsberg traveled across the United States interviewing men who profited from—and helped perpetuate—stereotyped and sexualized images of women. Rate It X captures cringe-worthy moments with advertising executives, the creator of Hustler magazine’s “Chester the Molester” cartoon, a fundamentalist minister, and a flamboyant cable TV host who roams the streets of New York City trying to persuade random women to pose nude. Applauded for its keen humor, Rate It X remains as provocative and relevant as ever, and is presented in a new 4K restoration produced by IndieCollect.
