If you didn't grow up in the tri-state area with a cable box in the 80s, you might not get the hype, but Bang My Box makes a compelling case for Robin Byrd as a legitimate free-speech hero. It’s a loud, colorful, and surprisingly moving look at a woman who refused to be shamed out of the spotlight.
Don't mistake the title for trashy clickbait. While the archival clips are definitely 'after hours' material, the documentary is a serious look at how Byrd navigated the intersection of safe sex advocacy and underground entertainment. It’s a solid pick for parents and older teens who want to see how the battle for queer visibility was fought on the fringes of the dial.
