## Resource

What starts as a quirky story about professional tickling competitions quickly transforms into a shocking expose of psychological warfare and financial manipulation. Filmmaker David Farrier stumbles upon a global network of exploitation that spans decades, revealing how one trust fund millionaire used elaborate schemes to humiliate and control young athletes. More than just fetish films, this turns into a strange story about power, abuse, and the dark side of internet anonymity.
