The Rise & Fall of the Hottest Gay Magazines Ever (2009)

Mandate, Honcho, Inches, Playguy - classic gay titles from one-man gay publishing powerhouse, George Mavety. Mavety's vision was to elevate gay adult content-pictures and words-to the cultural level of Playboy. An LGBT ally until his death, Mavety is an unsung hero of the great gay awakening of 1970s and '80s culture. Director / producer Sean Carnage traces the history of these incredible publications. Filmed at the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives at the University of Southern California.
