Mike Nayna is an Australian filmmaker. His 2016 short, Digilante, caught viral cancel culture and race politics at a defining moment that challenged his assumptions as well as the narrative chosen by the media. Another event at Evergreen College in Olympia, WA, wherein then-professors Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying were subjected to a student-led witch hunt after objecting to a day without white people at the school, led him to James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian, and Helen Pluckrose. Mike's most-recent project is a series of films called The Reformers, which follows the “grievance studies” hoax, a project that exposed the phony scholarship of "social justice" fields like gender, post-colonial, and critical race studies, and how "woke scholarship" has bled into a myriad of other fields, turning the academic institution into something of a joke.
