Rashida Jones - from Parks and Recreation - produced the 2015 Netflix documentary Hot Girls Wanted. Depending on your taste, the 2008 crime drama Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father could top the list of the most depressing documentaries ever made, but Hot Girls Wanted may give even Dear Zachary a run for its emotional money.

The documentary deals with the dark side of the adult film industry, presenting facts about what goes on in front of and behind the camera through the lens of a houseful of aspiring young stars near Miami, Florida. The story is especially poignant because it's real people sharing real experiences. Jones produced the film as a passion project to call attention to the fact that there's no proactive regulation in the sex industry, which she maintains only serves to further harm, risk, and stigmatize its workers. Jones says she has no problem with real sex in film, but her goal is to shed light on bad practices inside a fast-and-loose industry. To each his or her own - as long as it's safe and consensual. In an unregulated, unmonitored industry, that's not often the case.

On its face - and with its suggestive cover - the film pulls in viewers under incredibly sexy pretenses, like a modern-day Pretty Woman. But all too soon, viewers figure out that Richard Gere isn't coming to the rescue. The intricate realities of life as a sex worker in America, as told by filmmakers following some of the girls who aren't faking it, is about as heart-wrenching as it gets. Hot Girls Wanted confronts some of what lies behind the sexy front of adult entertainment.
