D.M. Bennett spent the 1870s publishing The Truth Seeker, a New York freethought periodical that called organized religion into question at every issue, and the film tracks how that habit landed him in federal prison. Anthony Comstock, the self-appointed vice-hunter behind the Comstock Law and the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, made Bennett a target for selling the free-love pamphlet Cupid's Yokes, and Bennett was convicted and sentenced to thirteen months of hard labor at Albany Penitentiary. Robert Ingersoll, the orator known as "The Great Agnostic" and vice president of the National Liberal League, worked to win him a presidential pardon while he awaited transfer. Roderick Bradford, who wrote a biography of Bennett, also wrote, produced, and directed this account, drawing on that research to reconstruct a nineteenth-century censorship fight most viewers have never heard of. The film won the Grand Prize for Best Feature Length Film at the 2011 Portland Humanist Film Festival.
