After defining the No Wave film movement of the New York underground of the 1970s and ’80s, Beth B emerged in the 1990s as a provocative multi-disciplinary artist, creating a series of confrontational visual works that explore the dynamics of sex, power, and money.

After the disappearance of her two children, nightclub hostess Eileen Maloney (Suzy Amis, The Ballad of Little Jo) is confronted in her home by an aggressive police lieutenant (Fred Ward, Henry and June) who subjects her to a series of ruthless interrogations.

This deeply personal portrait of acclaimed New York–based artist Ida Applebroog was shot with mischievous reverence by her filmmaker daughter, Beth B (Exposed).
