Women manipulate you, How to get the balls of the alpha male, Be tough and demanding with women… These provocatively titled videos are a hit on social networks, racking up hundreds of thousands of views. In the form of a cyber-investigation, this documentary aims to decrypt the "manosphere" and show its dangers. Our journalist, Pierre Gault, has infiltrated forums, Telegram or WhatsApp groups and private conversations. Trivialised sexual assaults, appeals for rape, misogynistic but also racist comments, harassment… His dive into the heart of macho communities is dizzying and reveals a culture of hate against women.
Stalker
Direction, Project Manager: Johannes Hallbom. Photography: Christoffer Hjalmarsson. Producing Organisation: SVT/ Dokument inifrån.
There are rumours about Felix. An anonymous phone number is spreading information about him harassing and exploiting women. The rumours are all over town. But what most people don't know is that Felix is the real victim, and his stalker won't stop until his life is destroyed. What started out as innocent text messages escalates to the point where he is harassed at all hours of the day, someone following Felix like a shadow. What starts in his hometown follows him to his job at an army base, affects his colleagues, and finally threats are made directly to Felix's family and friends. He doesn't know who to trust.
