Sorry/Not Sorry

description

An examination of Louis C.K.’s sexual misconduct during his long comedy career, alongside the perspectives of three women who spoke out about it.

SORRY/NOT SORRY charts how an open secret evolved into on-the-record allegations. After admitting “these stories are true,” C.K. faced initial repercussions, followed by a swift comeback. Featuring interviews with the reporters who broke the original story, Melena Ryzik, Cara Buckley, and Jodi Kantor, along with comedians, entertainers, and cultural commentators including Michael Ian Black, Michael Schur, Aida Rodriguez, Andy Kindler, Noam Dworman, and Wesley Morris; the film explores the cultural fixation with Louis C.K. and his path to redemption, while revealing the backlash women faced both personally and professionally for calling attention to his bad behaviour.
