Chris Chan VS. The Internet is an unreleased documentary film directed by film student Joseph Draft, which would focus on the current condition of Chris and the long-term effects that internet trolling has had on his mental state. The film's state of completion is complicated, as the documentary that they set out to film is complete in some form, but the planned additional footage and interviews for the documentary haven't been filmed yet.

The documentary garnered significant criticism from Kiwi Farms due to its announcement being through a Kickstarter page via a tweet from Chris, and having a funding goal of $20,000, which was arguably high considering the film was stated as being completed. The description on the Kickstarter page[1] initially had very little information on the documentary and no breakdown of how the $20,000 of the budget would be used, which led to much speculation on how the money would be spent and how much may be for profit. The page was eventually updated and described that the film had been completed (to a point), included new interviews with Barb and Chris, new interviews with Megan Schroeder and that the purpose of the Kickstarter was to conduct additional interviews with the Chandlers and also with YouTubers like Geno Samuel (known for Chris-Chan: A Comprehensive History) and Sachumo (known for his 2015 documentary and 2017 interview of Chris).

Someone involved with the project posted on Kiwi Farms to do a Q&A which answered few, if any, questions, and only increased the hostility towards the project and its creators.[2] The Kickstarter for the film was abruptly cancelled on 6 April 2019, only two days after its announcement. As of January 2020, the film remains in limbo, with no further announcement ever since.

Transcript

[We see a shot of a C-Ville Weekly vending box in the city, and a shot of a Ruckersville entrance sign.]

Chris: [audio reused from this video] Hello. I record this message, in re...in response to the Encyclopedia Dramatica page that has been against me...

[Chris is seen placing a tray of markers on a table, then begins drawing Sonichu on a piece of paper with a black ballpoint pen.]

Chris: Every detail...on that heinous page, against me, is all a pack of lies.

[A montage of Chris walking through a woodland, selecting a pack of Crayola markers at a store, drinking coffee plays. Chris is then seen hugging one of the beagles while the other bays in the background]

Barbara: [narrating] At first, he couldn’t talk. So, he was...err...trained with a speech therapist. His behavior was not normal.

Barbara: [on-screen] I...wasn't aware of...err...all what was going on, at first.

[Chris breathes outdoors with his eyes closed, then the film's title appears]

Female voice (Megan?): Now, he...he seems like a totally different person to me.
