Why I Hate the Left

Why I Hate the Left is a 2015 short comedy film written and directed by Burleigh Smith. It features Smith, Amara Harnisch and Rachel McCann.
Plot
Ronald explains Right and Left politics to his six-year-old daughter, Rowena. He is playfully critical of Left-wing views on homelessness, the gender pay gap, feminism, equality, religion and public protesting.
They attend a gathering at a university where they meet Rebecca, a Far-Left student activist. Rebecca is organising a campaign to ban urinals from men's toilets in the name of gender equality. While Ronald is in complete disagreement with her views, he is attracted to her physically and remains silent. Rowena speaks up, adopting a Far-Right attitude. After an argument, the trio decide to conduct several social experiments to determine whose views are correct.
Production
Smith directed Amara Harnisch in in 2014. The film was widely-seen, premiering at Tropfest and screening at over seventy film festivals across eight countries in 2015. Why I Hate the Left is the second of three short comedies directed by Smith and featuring Harnisch.
The film is a reaction to Outrage Culture, Feminazism, Social Justice Warriors, political correctness and Left-Wing entitlement.
Principal photography took place between July 31 and November 8, 2015.
Festival Screenings
The film will premiere on Christmas Day 2015 and will receive a wide release on the international film festival circuit in 2016, showing where many of Smith's previous films have screened.
