Because of time constraints and to keep the story flowing we had to cut several clips from the final film "Pornography, Confronting the Addiction". Below are some of the clips that were cut, but that we felt contained information that was worth sharing. We hope you enjoy these clips, and will support this project by purchasing the film.
