“People are scared, they want to be on his side… for work.” Greenwich Ent. has revealed the official trailer for a documentary film titled Sorry/Not Sorry, an important follow-up doc about the #MeToo movement. In 2017, The NY Times published an article in which five women accused comedian Louis C.K. of sexual harassment. Nine months later, he returned to the stage and went on to win a Grammy in 2021. Sorry/Not Sorry examines the cultural fixation with Louis C.K. and his comeback while revealing the backlash faced by the women who spoke up about his behavior. This is not just a story about how this (powerful) guy could get away with everything, it’s also about how broken and backwards society still is. They explore his comeback and the unseen effects of this on the women who spoke publicly about his behavior. Reviews state the film “rightly focuses on the women C.K. violated, and comedy’s inability to hold him accountable.” Worth a look.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Mones & Suh’s doc Sorry/Not Sorry, direct from YouTube:
