The body modification industry has long been affiliated with S&M and fetish. From the beginnings of the world's first body piercing studio known as the
Gauntlet, to the T&P Group (Tattooing and Piercing men) that frequented it, body modification provides a platform for self-expression.
Leading the pack for transgender advocacy, Buck's film touches on a very personal subject as he addresses both his sexuality and his vagina.
Making its debut March 9th, 2013 at 7:30 P.M. at the Austin SXSW film festival, here is the official details about Dan Hunter's documentary, Mr. Angel from Buck's website.
Shot over six years, Mr. Angel chronicles the extraordinary life of transgender advocate, educator and porn pioneer, Buck Angel. His in-your-face style of activism has audiences outraged by his insistence that he is 'a man who happens to have a vagina.'
Buck has survived addiction, homelessness, suicide and relentless opposition to his gender expression. Still, he lives his truth without compromise or apology.
This feature length documentary explores Buck's moving story to understand the complexities of someone who overcame incredible obstacles, then shamelessly sought the spotlight and its backlash, to share his message of empowerment
In addition to his contributions in the film industry and his iconic reputation within the LGBT community, many people know Buck as the husband of Elayne Angel, Master Piercer, President of the APP, author of The Piercing Bible, and the woman who is accredited for the popularity of the tongue piercing.
Talk about a power couple!
