Boots Riley on How His Hit Movie “Sorry to Bother You” Slams Capitalism & Offers Solutions

https://democracynow.org - We continue our interview with Boots Riley, writer and director of “Sorry To Bother You,” his new film about an evil telemarketing company, a corporation making millions off of slave labor, and one Oakland man at the center of it all who discovers a secret that threatens all of humankind. His dystopian social satire is being hailed as one of the best movies of the summer. Riley is a poet, rapper, songwriter, producer, screenwriter, humorist, political organizer, community activist, lecturer and public speaker—best known as the lead vocalist of The Coup and Street Sweeper Social Club.
