Added DiffLines:

* FreudianExcuse: Not so much a psychological thing with regards to Kenneth Pinyan (in fact, most of the people who knew him were fairly certain that he wasn't really a zoophile), but rather, he had suffered an accident that caused him to lose sensation in certain parts of his body, so he resorted to increasingly drastic ways to feel anything sexually, from fisting to [[AssShove putting large dildos up his anus]].

{{Brain Bleach}}: The film itself is pretty tame. The incident that inspired it is not.

{{HeyItsThatGuy}}: Some viewers may recognize the name "Mr. Hands."

{{Only In America}}: Subverted in that bestiality is practiced everywhere. That said, it still hasn't been outlawed in a few states.

{{Paparazzi}}: While not celebrities, the two men who owned the horse farm are pursued by CNN. At one point a helicopter flies over their home while a cameraman takes pictures of them through a window.

{{Shock Site}}: The video of Kenneth Pinyan's death was hosted on one of these sites.

The film premiered at Sundance (alongside 15 others, beating out an additional 856) and offers a surprisingly sobering look at the life and death of a man whose biggest secret would have stayed a secret if not for his tragic death. It also explores the lives of the people who knew him around the time of his death. Despite the subject matter, the film is a slick and polished exploration of American culture, human sexuality, and the modern media.
