The internet troll. The keyboard warrior. The caps lock commando. Whatever you call them, we’ve all encountered them. Maybe some of you reading this have done a little trolling yourself, but what is it that makes them tick? Do they really believe everything they write or are they just looking for a reaction? Norwegian photographer Kyrre Lien set out to investigate this ever-expanding community of extreme thinkers in his series The Internet Warriors.

Travelling across the globe for three years interviewing some of the most opinionated commenters he could find, Lien has created a short doc (the interviews have now been compiled into one 21-min film) that is as insightful as it is unsettling.
