Synopsis
2018. A Reddit user by the name of “Anathematic Anarchist” shares a suicide note on an incel forum, then disappears. Taking an interest in the post, mysteriously titled “America is responsible for my death,” Gala Hernández Lopéz follows a trail of digital evidence to uncover what happened, and why.
Editorial
Venturing undaunted into the darkest hinterlands of online alienation, this searching film asks bracing questions about the bruised male psyche and the culture that spawned it. Investigating inceldom through the images it produces, this piercing study blends video art with anthropological inquiry.
