Regarded as a First Amendment crusader by some and a smut peddler by others, Larry Flynt is nevertheless an important figure in American culture. In this documentary, Flynt talks about his Hustler magazine empire and discusses the prison sentence he served for not revealing the source of a tape featuring auto executive John DeLorean being threatened by the FBI. He also offers insight into his political campaigns and the Supreme Court trial that pitted him against religious leader Jerry Falwell.
