A successful realtor and soccer mom’s life is turned upside down when neo-Nazis unleash a troll storm against her and her family. In the face of an alarming growth of American fascism, she finds solidarity with her community by standing up, fighting back and ultimately filing a landmark case for the First Amendment, setting a precedent that could shape America’s future. Set in the heart of Whitefish, Montana, a seemingly idyllic ski town, antisemitic attacks against Tanya Gersh start soon after Donald Trump wins the presidential election. As the storm of online harassment intensifies, the Whitefish community is forced to confront the alarming local rise of far-right extremism. Tanya, overwhelmed by being the focal point of the attacks and at the threat of eminent danger, courageously takes a stand against hate, fear, and prejudice by filing a lawsuit against her perpetrators Tanya Gersh will be in attendance for a Q & A following the screening, moderated by NPR's Morning Edition host George Prentice. Co-founder and Executive director of the Council for Holocaust Awareness in Idaho and the Communications director and Adult Learning Coordinator at Congregation Ahavath Beth Israel, Kali Cusimano, will join the conversation
