Tickled
About the Screening
Presented by Magnolia Pictures and HBO Documentary Films
Includes a post-film conversation with Director David Farrier hosted by Dana Harris, Editor-in-Chief and General Manager of Indiewire.
After stumbling upon a bizarre "competitive endurance tickling" video online, reporter David Farrier reaches out to request a story from the company. But the reply he receives is shocking and threatens extreme legal action should he dig any deeper. So, like any good journalist he does just the opposite and uncovers a vast empire, known for harassing and harming the lives of those who protest their involvement in these films. Discovering the truth becomes Farrier's obsession, despite increasingly sinister threats and warnings. Farrier and co-director Dylan Reeve summon up every resource available to get to the bottom of this tickling wormhole.
