Feminist sexologist Shere Hite helped change public perception toward masturbation, clitorial orgasm and more with her groundbreaking research in the 1970s and 80s. Her books rank among the biggest best-selling nonfiction titles of all time. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Nicole Newnham (Crip Camp) explores Hite’s rise and fall from prominence. The film uncovers a treasure trove of archival footage and enlists Dakota Johnson to give voice to Hite, “a truth-seeker who deserves resurged acknowledgement.” (The Guardian)
