ComedyDocumentary

This documentary dives into the rough-and-ready wave of Australian low-budget exploitation movies that rose alongside more respected 1970s cinema. Through interviews and a barrage of wild clips, it traces how filmmakers embraced sex, violence, and genre thrills while building an underground scene that reached international audiences.
