American Troll is a story about sticking to your convictions, and the willingness to suffer for them. It is a tale of a decade long, legal battle between the Gabriel family with a deaf, singing child and comedian Mike Ward from Montreal, Canada. A monumental free speech case in Canadian history! This documentary is a reminder that, in the face of adversity, maintaining strong beliefs can lead to personal growth, mockery, depression, grey hairs, unwanted attention, online cruelty, repeating mistakes, and very expensive lawyer bills.

When a feminist filmmaker sets out to document the mysterious and polarizing world of the Men’s Rights Movement, she begins to question her own beliefs. Chronicling Cassie Jaye’s journey exploring an alternate perspective on gender equality, power and privilege.

The premise behind Better Left Unsaid, lies in the unconfined analysis of the often violent extremism of today's Western political landscape. As liberal democracy becomes increasingly challenged in the West, we expose the dangerous tactics employed by the radical-left and far-right, alike. In a world where political polarization frames the way in which we live, a new path forward of unity is needed more than ever before. The value of the film lies in its impact, brevity and digestibility - as we confront the philosophical underpinnings of the radical left and their extreme right counterpart.
