Alfred Kinsey

Tonight, PBS American Experience will air "Kinsey," a 90-minute biography of a scientist whose personal struggles and obsessive nature propelled him to break through the silence on human sexuality, and conduct the first full-scale study of the sexual behavior of Americans. The film is the first American television documentary to be granted full access to the extensive collection of research materials at the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, bringing to light a wealth of never-before-seen archival material. Larry Mantle talks with Kinsey’s producers and directors Barak Goodman (Scottsboro: An American Tragedy, The Fight) and John Maggio (The Fight), about the documentary and the life of the pioneering sex researcher, Alfred Kinsey.
