According to Politico Magazine, directors of color are now finally getting a chance to follow their muse in a way that white directors have always seen as simple birthright, and the expansive weirdness of Sorry to Bother You is a perfect example. The film's depiction of racial hierarchy, social engineering, and corporate is the work of first time director Boots Riley. The film is now in theaters and it is a testament to both Riley?s combination of persistence and artistry, and the equally unique cultural moment on which he?s shining a light.
