Is Gang Stalking Real (2026)

The 2026 documentary Is Gang Stalking Real investigates the controversial phenomenon where individuals believe they are being systematically targeted, harassed, and surveilled by groups of people. Directed by an acclaimed independent filmmaker, the film seeks to understand the psychological, sociological, and technological factors that contribute to these experiences. Through in-depth interviews with self-identified victims, mental health professionals, and experts in digital privacy, the movie explores the line between coordinated harassment and mass paranoia in the modern era.

Production began in early 2024, featuring footage from various countries where gang stalking allegations have gained media traction. The filmmakers utilized advanced data analytics to track online communities discussing the topic, revealing how social media algorithms may amplify feelings of isolation and suspicion. The narrative avoids sensationalism, instead focusing on the human impact and the societal implications of perceived persecution.

• The production team won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Austin Film Festival later in 2026.
