While our friends in the U.S. have already had the chance to see the bizarre and compelling documentary Tickled, our turn comes on August 19th, so to tide us over till then a new trailer has come our, giving us a great taste as to what this wholly unique doc has in store for us. The origins of Tickled are innocuous enough, reporter David Ferrier stumbles upon the online world of endurance tickling where young men are paid to be tied up and tickled. But when he reaches out to the company in charge to do a report on it, that’s when the real story begins. Sent a shocking reply, where he is threatened with legal action and his sexual orientation mocked, Ferrier is emboldened to dig deeper, uncovering a shocking, hidden tickling empire built on bullying and a seemingly endless supply of money.
While this may seem like the plot of some insane comedy, most likely with Will Ferrell attached, it is something very real, and the documentary promises to be unlike any in recent memory.
