It’s 2017 and Lyoyd Kaufman and his faithful Troma team are once again storming the streets of the Cannes Film Festival to promote their latest work. Surrounded by costly studio billboards and installations, Troma’s signature attention stealing street-level marketing tactics are now being met with constant opposition by police leaving this found family wondering if their days of championing independent film are over. This intimate documentary explores the New York institution’s complicated 50+ year legacy and their defiant stance in support of artistic freedom for all. —Joseph Hernandez
