Now, the Oakland native is tackling movies as writer and director of the new film “Sorry to Bother You,” which is inspired by the world of telemarketing. It took Sundance by storm and has been described by several different publications as “bonkers.” Boots Riley joins Forum in studio to talk about the movie and why he made it.
