Tickled

After coming across a bizarre online "tickling endurance competition" video in which young men are paid to be tied up and tickled, journalist David Farrier requests an interview with the company. But he gets a shocking response - the sender mocks Farrier's sexual orientation and threatens extreme legal action if he digs deeper. So, like any good journalist faced with a bully, he does the exact opposite: he visits the hidden chess rooms in Los Angeles and uncovers a vast empire known for harassing and endangering the lives of those who objected to their participation in these films. The more he investigates, the weirder it gets as he uncovers secret identities and criminal activities. Uncovering the truth becomes Farrier's obsession, despite increasingly ominous threats and warnings. With humor and determination, Farrier and co-director Dylan Reeve take advantage of all available resources to explore this tricky wormhole to its fullest.
