It's Not Funny Anymore: Vice to Proud Boys

Overview

Gavin McInnes, a controversial Canadian figure, is the force behind two strikingly different legacies: the progressive VICE media empire and the violent Proud Boys militia, which infamously participated in the Capitol riots on January 6th. Once hailed as a forward-thinking innovator, McInnes' shift into radical right-wing extremism puzzled friends and former associates. A former protégé from VICE sets out on an investigative journey to explore this shocking transformation. This documentary offers an in-depth look at McInnes, revealing the complexities of a counterculture icon who became an emblem of an extremist movement threatening democratic ideals.
