"A journey into the disgusting dark-hearted internet, alt-right fantasies of freedom and power, Hollywood’s effect on our thinking, Western malaise, toxic communities, men in crisis and lashing out, disenfranchised protagonists."
As a desktop documentary, Hard As You Can is the surface of the story of artist Tiyan Baker’s attempted infiltration into real-life fight clubs of sad men in the inner west of Sydney. Beyond that, it traces the connections between that film and online communities of men looking for power and status, spurning heartlessness and malevolent machismo.
