Targeting family members and engaging in modern methods of cyberattack, Chelli often crosses the boundary between lawful and criminal actions. Dark and thought-provoking, this documentary asks how far should an individual be allowed to go in order to eradicate hate crime?

Warning: Film contains violence and depictions of both antisemitism and bullying behaviour that some viewers may find disturbing.
