After starring in the male stripper film Magic Mike, Joe Manganiello was inspired to explore the world of male erotic dancers a little more closely. The result: the documentary La Bare about the performers and fans of the ladies’ strip club La Bare in Dallas, Texas.

 

“With Magic Mike, we scratched the surface, and with La Bare, I had the opportunity to plumb the depths of this strange and provocative world hidden in plain sight," he explained. "Shocking, hilarious, and heartfelt, the film explores every level of the profession in three vivid dimensions."
