Jesus Franco: I don't think it's acceptable to ban any film, not just mine, mine too of course, but any film.

It's a bit of a shame this is split into two parts - but be that as it may, the documentary is quite eye opening. I imagine those who followed (either back then or have read upon that time) what happened during the "video nasties era", will know most of the stuff that is discussed here.
Having said that, it is always refreshing seeing and hearing from experts. And getting things debunked - either from others or by your own common sense. Like when one of the censors replies to those who say he can't judge the things he hasn't seen with: "a doctor does not need to have had cancer to diagnose it". I may be paraphrasing, but that is the essence of what he said. Now that equivalence is completely off. Because his comparisons would only be true, if he meant: I do not have to kill someone to watch those - or something along those lines. His comparison to the doctor would only be right, if he said it like this: A doctor can only diagnose cancer, if he has seen it before. If he knows what it looks like - if has read up on it, if has dealt with it on some level". But that comparison would not suit the censor, because it would make him look as bad as he does look, while claiming the things about movies, he has no clue about.
There is even more here and the documentary tells us and shows us a ... well "witch hunt" of movies, if you'll excuse the pun. Really worth the watch, if you are a fan of movies and even more so of horror movies ... crazy things happened, that still are not totally resolved it seems.
