About this movie

After stumbling upon a bizarre “competitive endurance tickling” video online, wherein young men are paid to be tied up and tickled, reporter David Farrier reaches out to request a story from the company. But the reply he receives is shocking—the sender mocks Farrier's sexual orientation and threatens extreme legal action should he dig any deeper. So, like any good journalist confronted by a bully, he does just the opposite: he travels to the hidden tickling facilities in Los Angeles and uncovers a vast empire, known for harassing and harming the lives of those who protest their involvement in these films. The more he investigates, the stranger it gets, discovering secret identities and criminal activity. Discovering the truth becomes Farrier’s obsession, despite increasingly sinister threats and warnings. With humor and determination, Farrier and co-director Dylan Reeve summon up every resource available to get to the bottom of this tickling wormhole.

Wow. It is a very upsetting story but very well done documentary. That sick man caused so much harm. I feel so bad for all the victims. If only they knew it was all empty threats from a very disturbing man. He didn't deserve all that money he inherited and look how he squandered it. This is why I cannot stand when people think Karma is real. This story just proves it is a myth people love to believe. No one got what they deserved in this story. Very glad it was made, so the truth is out there.

I like the whole idea of how they are introducing the world to this trend we never knew existed. The mystery behind the trend and the secrets it hides makes it very entertaining to watch.
