The film weaves a tapestry of Web comments and response videos with reactions from Crocker fans and haters to map the controversial rise of an Internet folk hero.

KORY KORTIS 1 second ago HBO has shelved this documentary. If you log on to HBO Max and look under documentaries, it is not there. Thank Freeman and myself for that. It is almost impossible to find this film anywhere even though it debuted at Sundance before being picked up by HBO. I had to sign a release waiver from Valerie for our segment to appear in the film. Mind control of Hollywood celebrities is not a favorite topic of the establishment.

What happened ? I really wanted to watch this film. I remember watching when it first aired and was so amazed.
