Meet self-proclaimed vigilante pedophile hunter Justin Payne in this jaw-dropping new documentary from VICE Canada and Shawney Cohen (whose debut The Manor opened Hot Docs 2013). Filmed on location in the suburbs of Toronto where Payne operates, this film uncovers the growing trend of sting operations attempting to catch, record and publicly shame sexual predators. Since his first video posted in October 2015, Payne has inspired many others across Canada to found their own groups. In just over a year, these vigilantes have posted hundreds of videos online—but are they a boon or a bane for official law enforcement?
Director Shawney Cohen, subject Justin Payne, clinical psychologist Dr. James Cantor and senior VICE.com writer Manisha Krishnan will be in attendance for an in-depth discussion following the screening.
