TICKLED – Opening Night at Globe Cinema

description

On Friday, July 15 at 7 p.m. join the Calgary Underground Film Festival (CUFF) for the Opening Night of the documentary TICKLED at Globe Cinema (617 8 Ave SW). A portion of proceeds from the Opening Night screening will support CUFF as we gear up for CUFF.Docs, Calgary's Documentary Film Festival running November 17-20, 2016.    

About the film
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.
