The rise, fall, and resurgence of comedian Louis C.K. is well-known and documented for his humor and disgusting behavior around women. Directors Caroline Suh and Cara Mones made the documentary Sorry/Not Sorry to record the experiences and perspectives of the women and the repercussions.

Here is the official synopsis:

Sorry/Not Sorry charts how an open secret about comedian Louis C.K.’s sexual misconduct evolved into a front page article on The New York Times. Following the story’s publication, Louis C.K. admitted “these stories are true” and faced initial repercussions, only to return to the stage nine months later.

While the story of C.K.’s rise and fall largely played out in public, this film reveals the stories of three women who spoke out over the years about C.K.’s behavior.

Through candor and surprising humor, the documentary gives voice to the nuanced and complicated experiences of Jen Kirkman, Abby Schachner, and Megan Koester. It presents new details about their encounters with Louis C.K. and unveils the extent of the personal and professional consequences they faced for speaking out about it.

By re-examining Louis C.K.’s behavior and his unprecedented comeback, alongside the testimonies of these women, directors Caroline Suh and Cara Mones 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—Melena Ryzik, Cara Buckley, and Jodi Kantor—along with comedians, gatekeepers, and critics including Michael Ian Black, Michael Schur, Aida Rodriguez, Andy Kindler, Noam Dworman, and Wesley Morris, the film leaves viewers contemplating: who is afforded a second chance, and who is overlooked in the process?
