More than forty years after Deep Throat inspired a sexual revolution, questions about the ethics of pornography and its impact on society are still being asked. Kristin Battista - Frazee was only four years old when her stockbroker father, Anthony Battista, was indicted by the US government for distributing the now famous porn film. The stress drove her mother, Frances Battista, to worry endlessly that her husband might be thrown in jail. She became so depressed that she attempted suicide. Kristin survived this family trauma to live a surprisingly normal life. But instead of leaving the past behind her, she developed a burning curiosity to understand her family's history. Why did the US government prosecute this case so vehemently? And why did her father get involved in distributing this notorious porn film in the first place? The Pornographer's Daughter is an insider's account of the events that made Deep Throat and pornography so popular, and a memoir of coming of age against the backdrop of the pornography business.
