Anyone unfamiliar with the four or five subjects of this film and not a radical progressive will probably find this quite watchable. Though not a follower myself of Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, Tommy Robinson, or any of the others here, I respect them all and certainly side with them on the issue of free speech and, as such, wonder how any self-professing lover of democracy can possibly pan this. (Absolutely mind-boggling, this.)
Really, you don't have to particularly like all of the subjects but you ought to at least be in their corner if you care anything at all about Western freedoms and specifically the First Amendment.
The documentary focuses on a few relatively well-known public figures/alternative media personalities who in recent years have been the targets of a modern-day witch-hunt, one echoing the spirit of McCarthyism, albeit this time around it's a leftist crusade.
There is the mild and soft-spoken Tommy Robinson, who's been tarred-and-feathered and all but pilloried by the mainstream media in his homeland, merely for his trying to raise social awareness as to the factual problem of "grooming gangs" in the UK. For this, the likable Mr. Robinson was introduced to the words travesty and injustice, if he hadn't already known their definitions.
Ms. Loomer was at one time an online viral sensation, until she was de-platformed for her anti-sharia activism and "guerilla journalist" tactics. Whereas hate-mongering ayatollahs are permitted on some of these social media sites, as well as foreign dictators, here you have a freedom-loving, democratic American being banned, on account of her expressing totally constitutional political views. When folks like Ms. Loomer are simply out trying to expose various self-perceived threats to American civil liberties and are unjustly censored for it, what does that say about the contemptible techno-fascists/totalitarian-sympathizers doing the banning?
When you dislike someone so much, enough to want to remove from them their fundamental right to freedom of expression, somehow that seems rather hateful in my book, but notice how cleverly these victims of such shamefully undemocratic behavior have been made out to be the bad guys, what with their having been marginalized, ridiculed, slandered, and at times neo-blacklisted, solely for their being popular and influential conservatives. Unspeakably obscene, this.
YOU CAN'T WATCH THIS rallies to their side in providing these articulate subjects with an opportunity to speak and to defend themselves. In my opinion, it makes a great companion to the book "Censored: How The West Became Soviet Russia."
After watching this, perhaps under the covers or conspicuously in righteous defiance, you just may feel like revisiting the movie "1984," as there is arguably some similarities here.
