David Farrier is dangling from the ceiling of a sex dungeon, encased in a web of leather straps.

His fists are clenched, his face is beaded with sweat and he can't move a muscle. He's clearly not happy about his situation.

The TV3 reporter-turned documentary maker releases Tickled in New Zealand next week. His new documentary takes a deep dive into the seedy underbelly of competitive tickling and surfaces with seriously sinister stuff.

Farrier followed some loose threads, wrote a few blog posts, and he, with fellow enthusiast and blogger Dylan Reeve, soon realised they had a story with enough strange twists to make a great film.
