Sorry/Not Sorry

“Globally and historically, we're the number one cause of injury and mayhem to women. We're the worst thing that ever happens to them. That's true! You know what our number one threat is? Heart disease.” Today, this famous line by Louis CK seen sounds ironic, to say the least, in light of the sexual misconduct scandal that involved one of the world's most popular comedians. A chronicle of a rise and fall of a man, through candor and surprising humor, the documentary gives voice to the nuanced and complicated experiences of Jen Kirkman, Abby Schachner, and Megan Koester – the three women who spoke out over the years about C.K.’s behavior. By re-examining Louis C.K.’s behavior and his unprecedented comeback and trying to explain the public's reluctancy to kill their idols, two powerful women filmmakers shed new light on questions about sex and power in the workplace, who gets to take the stage, and the role the public plays in these stories at large. Featuring interviews with the reporters who broke the original story, along with comedians, gatekeepers and critics, the film leaves viewers contemplating: who is afforded a second chance, and who is overlooked in the process?
