Kink Crusaders Go behind the scenes at the annual International Mr. Leather competition, where men worldwide gather to compete for the title of Mr. Leather. Once a small community that was dismissed by critics as a carnival of gay sexual fetishes, leather has gone mainstream, and "Kink Crusaders" proves why. As it plunges into the lives and aspirations of its contestants with humor and tasteful eroticism, it reveals a group of men for whom spiritual connection, openness and understanding are the true definition of masculinity. This sexy, smart doc dares to ask - Is there a Kink Crusader in us all?

Decent introduction to those who have never been or have no idea what IML is about.
It was open, honest and pretty clear cut about the event.IML is an event where gay men into kink & fetish from all over the world come together for a long 4 day weekend. It's an amazing thing. If you have a fetish, you'll find guys into it at IML with some searching.This event was started by gay men and is for gay men. Sadly this event has become diluted & diminished by cultural sightseeing, posers and str8 people.

Keep Walking - It's a hurtful piece
I wanted to see a historical perspective on leather and how it has changed and progressed. However, I felt bombarded with anti-white messages. WHAT? I have to wonder why or how whites have become the new punching bags...and really? Constantly calling me white does not help - I'm Northern European American. No less than 3 different people were interviewed that said, "America is browning so get on board or get rolled over." "I'm here to represent Latin, Black, and Asians because the whites have been here too long." I'm hear to show that this is not a white thing and we are all invited." OMG! Yes, you are all invited, even the straights but why do you feel the racist need to bash on white people? If whites came out of the closet in mass before you and started this and invited you, why do you now bite the hand of your brothers? I became disgusted and turned it off - it's a racially charged hate piece that has leather in it. I wonder how well this would be received if it were a piece that threw shade on gays or blacks or illegals? It wouldn't and shouldn't be tolerated, same goes for bashing on us Northern European Americans. We have feelings too.

A documentary that puts history and heart into an elusive and once-scary world filled with men of character and caring.
I really appreciated hearing the history of the International Man of Leather competition. The title is quite sensational for the actual content, although there are some very 'candid and straightforward' moments. An excellent documentary that put heart and soul into what at one time frightened me, even as a gay man. This documentary took away that fear. These are some good-hearted guys.

Not to be missed...
An excellent behind the scenes look at International Mr. Leather XXX, complete with the history, future, and controversies the Leather community faces. As someone who has worked behind the scenes, I can vouch for the authenticity of Skiff's work. It rings true to my experience, and it captures the family reunion I have come to love.

Leading the way (leashes and all!)
Nice to have this piece of history documented. Kink has come a long way to be more accepted in the mainstream. The gay leather men were indeed pioneers.

Like a window into another world. Insightful and endearing.
I vaguely know about the IML contest. This documentary gave me a better insight into the contestants. It also educated me about the history of the contest. Documentary she'd so much light on the organization. Very interesting and fun.
