These were some of the titles that the mainstream media attributed to filmmaker Ken Loach and former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

The documentary addresses media bias, defamation and censorship, and exposes the mechanisms of the establishment and the British mainstream press, revealing how they exploit fear and discrimination to defame individuals, their ideas and the project they represent. But these tactics are not limited to the UK: the film draws parallels with other parts of the world, including the United States, Brazil and other European countries.
What are the limits of free speech? Troll Storm is the story of a Jewish woman in Montana, Tanya Gersh, who was the victim of an unrelenting social media campaign of antisemitism and her decision to fight back in court. “The second I decided to fight, I started to heal,” she says in this powerful film. And although the crux of this story takes place several years ago, the new swarm of antisemitism currently crossing our country makes this story feel extremely relevant. Gersh uses interviews with a holocaust survivor as a brutal reminder of where we could end up again if this culture of hate is not faced by our country. In Accept the Call (WFF 2019) director Eunice Lau’s latest film, the parallel between Europe before the rise of the Nazi party and what happened to Gersh is frightening. – Sabina Barach
