A geek girl herself, filmmaker Gina Hara is keen to celebrate the world of anime songs, fictional characters, and escapist games. But while a few geek girls are willing to share their journeys, Hara finds that most are unwilling to be identified. A nuanced exploration of the dark side of a subculture all too often dominated by misogyny, online harassment, and ostracisation. (Sheffield Doc/Fest)
