When a documentary is made about a subject and interviews are presented with a wide variety of individuals talking about a single thing, most of the time no one will question such a presentation. In this case, people are likely to question the intentions and ultimate content of the project. The film is directed by noted photographer Deborah Anderson, who has taken photographs of many famous celebrities like Elton John and George Clooney. She is the daughter of rock singer Jon Anderson from Yes. Aroused is about celebrities of a sort. The film includes extensive interviews with porn stars and their agent during the course of an extensive photo shoot. The question then becomes, “How serious is this project?” It turns out to be a somewhat serious examination of the psychological stress that these women have to go through. That said, there is a fair amount of nudity as the film progresses. Is it gratuitous or not? That's not easy to say. I would say that if they wanted this to be taken seriously, they might have limited the nudity. Of course, it will probably have a higher level of sales with the nudity.

I can't say I know many of the people being interviewed, but I will list some names for those of you who might know; Allie Haze, Ash Hollywood, Asphyxia Noir, April O'Neill, Alexis Texas, Belladonna, Brooklyn Lee, Francesca Lee, Jesse Jane, Kayden Kross, Lisa Ann, Misty Stone, Tanya Tate, Teagen Presley and Fran Amidor. Anderson wants to get to know the real women. Who were they before they became the stigma or pariah? Many of them came from sheltered or timid backgrounds. Some were married to ministers, and some went through strict religious training.
