Want the short version of the plot? Here's the plot: "A deep dive into one of America’s most radical media experiments, this documentary uncovers how New York’s underground public access television turned everyday people into boundary-pushing creators. Using rare archival footage, it reveals a chaotic free-speech arena where rules were shattered, censors challenged, and anyone could seize the screen. Long before influencers existed, public access channels like Manhattan Cable Television gave New Yorkers total creative freedom — spawning interactive oddities, anarchic art shows, and pioneering LGBTQ+ programming. As sexually explicit content pushed limits and ignited public outrage, major First Amendment battles ensued. The result is an unfiltered look at a transformative moment in media history that anticipated today’s creator-driven digital world, warning viewers to “brace yourself” for the wildness that defined it."
