Fanaticism epitomized this documentary as a way of life, as per the Director Eunice Lau. The heroic stature around Tanya Gersh is something non- πολλά said about, a Mother and realtor, she was made a target by neo nazis around her home. The neo nazis around her home created a “troll storm”, and a rekindled fire of American Fascism. This was the first time doxxing of any kind came in where Tanya was given a prime target on multiple handles across the digital web and so became the target and the poster woman of the fight against American battlefield for democracy. She knew how to turn the tides in her favor as she understood no one approach was going to help her win. This is done through a key moment from what is presumably her troll fight against algorithms and the AI web normalizers. ‘Troll Storm’ aims to annihilate cancel culture regardless of how unforgiving their methods are of doing so.
