Story is
By St;epiianIe Levesque
"Not a Love Story" is
shocking, disturbing,-enrag-
irp and at times nauseating
in its depiction of sexual
abuses against women.
Viewed at a private
screening in St. Marys on Ju-
ly 7 with over 85 people in at-
tendance, "Not a Love
Story", is a filrn about por-
nography. Produced by the
National Fiirn Board of
Canada, the film centres
around a young, female
stripper, who along with an
interviewer, witness por-
nography in its different
aspects.
The message that comes
through loud and clear is
that this material degrades
those involved. One actor
who had performed in stag
films was interviewed for
the NFB production. He
states he no longer acts in
such films because women
are portrayed in a degrading
manner. When asked if he
felt degraded in the films he
said "no", that as a man he
acted the "macho" type.
Violence against women is
heavily documented in "Not
a Love Story". In some
scenes the women are either
bound and gagged or appkar
to like what is happening to
them during the atrocities
performed on their bodies.
In order to get insight into
the women who participate
in pornography, one young
woman who perforins live
sex acts was interviewed. To
her it was not wrong as she
had been raised by her pro-
stitute mother and watching
sex being performed was not
out of the ordinary.
Pornography has come a
long way from its origin in
the 1950s when Playboy
entered the scene showing
bare breasts. Today in the
1980s, the showing of bare
breasts is mild. In fact David
Bonner, morals and values•
consultant with the Perth
Board of Education who has
toured the Ontario Censor
Board in Toronto, com-
mented that scenes shown in
the film are "mild" com-
pared to some of the films
presented to OCB.
The problem, according to
the Canadian Coalition
Again Media Pornography
I CCAMP) is that the law is
vague and has not kept pace
with the trend in por-
nography. The Criminal
Code of Canada states there
must be "undue exploitation
of sex, or of sex and any one
or more of the following sub-
jects, namely crime, horror,
cruelty and violence" before
anything is considered.

up in the 50's when the worst
pornography on the market
was like the mildest present

masochism, women being
"subjected to various painful

nography, Donald O'Connor,
editor of the. St. Marys
Jouuta1 Argus and one of a
six -member panel speaking
at the screening, said he
found a definition he con-
siders accurate. Por-
nography is "verbal or pie-
toral material which
represents or describes sex-
ual . behavior that is
degrading or abusive to one
or more of the participants
in such a way as to endorse
the degratibn."
Margaret McBride of St.
Marys, who developed "a
kind of rage" after having
seen the film earlier this
- year, brought the film to the
town and organized the
panel of area residents
representing a range of oc-
cupations from farming to
education.
There were over 85 people
in attendance at the screen-
ing and Ms. McBride said
she was "thrilled" with the
ttoyt. Her initial objective
in showing the film was to
"heighten the awareness of
pornography within the com-
munity." •
But audience reaction
went beyond that. One man
asked what individuals could
do to erase pornography
from society.
Ms. McBride wants to
start a lobby group in St.
Marys. Although it is not

indicated. Ms. McBride. em-
phasized this as she read

pornographic periodicals
she found in one store in the
town.
She wants these books
removed from the stores,
