From episode 137 of Sup Doc, my other podcast about documentaries.

First-time director Arthur Jones and producer Giorgio Angelini share the twisted tale of artist Matt Furie's most famous creation becoming a meme identified with the Alt Right. They chronicle Furie's attempt to reclaim Pepe the Frog for good and share the process of starting in comics and animation all the way to premiering at Sundance.

Jones debuted the film at Sundance and ended up winning the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award For Emerging Filmmaker. The film is on the festival circuit but if you have even a passing interest in online radicalization, intellectual property law, or comics culture, this is a story you will want to know.
