(5<\/span> \/ 5<\/span>)<\/div>\n\n\n\nSpoiler Alert<\/em><\/strong>: Some information about the plot and themes covered by the documentary will be discussed in this article.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have been eagerly waiting for Morgana for about three years. Today I finally watched it and it didn\u2019t disappoint!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I first came across Morgana when filmmakers Josie Hess, Isabel Peppard and Karina Astrup launched a Kickstarter campaign<\/a> in 2017 to raise funds for their project: Morgana. The story of an Australian housewife turned feminist porn<\/a> star in her late forties was too good to let go. It is well documented that big Hollywood productions very rarely feature women over forty. It is even rarer to see older women’s sexuality being openly discussed. The lack of stories about women in my current age-group who are sexually active – no, we don’t automatically hang up our vaginas when we reach forty – made me jump at the opportunity and I made a small contribution to the fundraiser. I was thrilled when I learned the project had met its funding target and the story of Morgana Muses was indeed going to become a movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Morgana is a documentary based on the real-life story of Morgana Muses, who in her late forties went from being depressed and suicidal to become a feminist porn performer and director. The plot could be considered relatively simple, but the story goes on to cleverly cover very complex themes \u2013 such as mental health, sexism, ageism, and body and sex positivity \u2013 without losing the focus on Morgana\u2019s journey. And what a journey it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The early part of the movie takes us back to Morgana\u2019s childhood spent in the small regional town of Coober Pedy in South Australia and goes on to her high school years in Sydney and, later, her married life in Albury, regional NSW. The documentary goes on to cover Morgana\u2019s transformation and her work in the porn industry, offering an interesting glimpse of the adult movie’s ‘behind the scenes’. But what really got my attention was Morgana’s ongoing battles with her mental health, sensitively captured in the documentary without sugar-coating it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The cinematography is outstanding. The bright colors, lighting and visual aspects of this movie are a perfect match for Morgana\u2019s colorful personality. They also do justice to Morgana\u2019s own creativity as a feminist porn performer and director. The chemistry and trust between Morgana and the filmmakers behind this documentary are evident, resulting in compelling moments and many \u2018no-filter\u2019 conversations. All of that keeps the viewer engaged from beginning to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you are an avid consumer of porn or not, there is a lot for everyone to like here. Morgana Muses is unique and yet she is all of us: the universal need to love and be loved, to belong to a community who accepts you for who you are and her battles with mental illness and self-doubt are universal topics beautifully explored in this documentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/vanillaisthenewkink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Morgana-feminist-porn-star-1024x577.jpg\")
