Jordan Peterson Documentary: Journalist David Fuller Takes a Look at Dangers of Polarization & More

Published on Feb 15, 2018

Journalist David Fuller made the first full documentary about Jordan Peterson, and also used to work at Channel 4 News as producer and reporter for over a decade. He takes a close look at the recent viral interview with Cathy Newman and uses this cultural watershed to unpack the deeper political, psychological and archetypal levels of the clash.
Fuller’s companion piece to his documentary:

 

The documentary does a nice job of looking at polarization, closely held  ideology, gender myths, hostility toward men, discourse, the “intellectual dark web,” and more. It was just published today and already has more than 5000 views.

If you haven’t seen the interview that caused such a stir, here it is. I recommend watching it first. It is also jokingly referred to as “Lobstergate.”

Channel 4 News’ full, fiery interview with clinical psychologist and professor Jordan B Peterson, whose views on gender have amassed great controversy – and a huge online following. He discusses the pay gap, patriarchy and his new book “12 Rules for Life.”

Currently at 7 million plus views in 30 days.
