THE DAILY SHOW WITH TREVOR NOAH

THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT 

“First-rate documentary”  -The New York Times  

"An ebullient ode to freedom... a terrific movie" - Variety   

“A beautiful, funny, charming, insightful, laugh until your cry, and then cry until you laugh film” - Huffington Post  

“Outstanding and timely” - Salon  “Fascinating…  a vivid personal portrait”  - The Hollywood Reporter   “A must-see” -  The Boston Globe  

“Fighting fire with funny… a prescient cautionary tale”  -  The Village Voice  

"Hilarious... tragic and awe-inspiring all at the same time" - The Upcoming “Side-splittingly funny”  - Culturefly  “A stunning portrait… an absolute must-see”  - Unseen Films  

“Riveting”  - Film Threat “Funny and remarkable”  - The Hollywood News “Exuberant and tragic… an essential document on the role of media”  - Screen Daily  “Extremely compelling”  - The Unrepentant Marxist 

“Lightning in a bottle”  - The Moveable Feast

“Brilliant… A gripping political-comedy-drama”  - Okay Africa  “Engaging… Youssef is so much more than an Egyptian Jon Stewart.”  - Vice  “A political thriller”  - The Playlist  “Vast and personal in the way that great documentaries tend to be”  - Atlanta Jewish Times 

Use your words. They are louder and more articulate than your fists. Jokes are words put together in a funny way. Anyone in power who is threatened by a joke is not really all that powerful. When you’re thoughtful and honest, humor can be cathartic. And, unlike beating people up, it’s totally legal.

Are you brave enough to tell a joke? Take a feather and tickle the foot of a giant. Will the giant laugh or stomp on you? It’s a risk, to bring peace and beauty to an otherwise hard moment.

Draw a picture. Sing a song. Say something. Have your true self known. When you are at your most authentic, others will be, too. When you believe in something, speak up. When someone is being taken advantage of, advocate.

When? Now. Giants come in all sizes. Big and small, We should all, in our own ways, be Tickling Giants.
