David Farrier is TICKLED

When I spoke with David Farrier by phone on June 22, 2016, I started by asking him if he had been served any legal papers that day.  It was a semi-facetious question.  Making his endlessly fascinating, endlessly surprising documentary, TICKLED, has resulted in an ongoing string of legal threats and a not a few legal… Read More »
