THE “digital age” generation flocking to Madrid for World Youth Day this month will be made aware of one of the darker sides of digital culture: the flourishing business of Internet pornography, according to a Zenit report.

Out of the Darkness, an award-winning documentary created by Anteroom Pictures in New York City, will be shown to audiences in Madrid during the World Youth Day celebrations. The producers hope the pornography industry will be exposed and analyzed before the young audience.

The film features the story of Shelley Lubben, a former sex worker and porn star who left that life behind and converted to Christianity.

The film, winner of the Mystery of Love award at the 2011 John Paul II International Film Festival in Miami, will have an online screening with Morality in Media next Thursday. After that, it’s on to World Youth Day in Spain for a screening on Aug. 17.
