 Filmmakers Kirby Dick and Eddie Schmidt on their new
documentary that outs the MPAA ratings board.

Movies live or die based on the rating they receive from a super-secret panel of average-American parents. We speak with director Kirby Dick and producer Eddie Schmidt about their new documentary, This Film Is Not Yet Rated, that outs the MPAA ratings board and the often inconsistent and perhaps unconstitutional way in which they decide what's safe for us to see.
