Description
FEELS GOOD MAN chronicles the story of Pepe the Frog, created by Matt Furie and first appearing in the comic ‘Boy’s Club’. He is portrayed as one of four post-college twenty-something slackers living together. Over time, this character evolves into a viral Internet meme and is appropriated by the alt-right. In response, Furie seeks to reclaim Pepe, who has been transformed from a comic figure into a hate symbol. The film examines whether Pepe can ultimately be redeemed. Watch the trailer here.
