Rating: NR
Genre: Documentary
Release: 2014
Duration: 82
The Young Turks, one of the most popular online news shows in the world, has amassed a YouTube network of over 2.4 million subscribers and 2 billion views. But that wasnt always the case.
MAD AS HELL documents the tumultuous, at times hilarious and altogether astonishing trajectory of Cenk Uygur, The Young Turks main host and founder, as he traverses from unknown Public Access TV host to internet sensation by way of YouTube. When he ventures into national television by landing the 6 PM time slot on MSNBC, Cenks uncensored brand of journalism is compromised as he becomes a thorn in the side of traditional news media; his unwavering dedication to speaking the truth puts him at the very nexus of the battle between new and old media, and makes MAD AS HELL not only entertaining, but incredibly timely as well.
Mad As Hell is being brought to theatres through Gathr. Check out all the currently scheduled screenings, or schedule one in your town, through Gathr's interactive map site: Gathr: US Scheduled Screenings for MAD AS HELL

Seriously folks, I saw the movie at the premiere at the Toronto Hot Docs film fest. It's terrific, and even if you're not ordinarily a fan of documentaries it's rather enjoyable!

(270 posts)I gave them $10 over two years ago for this. Not $100, but still. There were never any updates until now.
I am tired of Ana and Jimmy can drive me nuts with his clear pandering to become famous among the libertarian TYT viewers, but overall I still like Cenk, Ben, Michael Shure, Jayar, etc. They do great work and I'm glad to see them successful.
