WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
It's late October, 1962 and the Cuban Missile Crisis is at hand. The U.S. is at the brink of nuclear war. The first, faint stirrings of the Women's Liberation Movement are occurring. Jennifer is a housewife in Erie, PA. Faced with the impending urgencies of possible Cuban invasion or nuclear annihilation, Jennifer is emboldened to demand oral gratification from her husband. It seems the neighbors feel the same way, and they all have something to try before the planet goes radioactive! Down South is written by Doug Field, and directed by Rick Sparks.
