Close
A Certain Sacrifice is an independent-underground art film,[4][5][6][7] shot on-and-off over two years in New York City on a low-budget of just $20,000.[2][8] Madonna finished her scenes in late 1980.[9] The video release sold 50,000 copies in its first-week, and the film developed a certain cult status among some of Madonna's fans and collectors by that time.[10]
