We Need to Talk About Cosby

W. Kamau Bell literally made a very sensitive and very careful piece of documentary work about one of the most influential comedians of all time but also one of the biggest monsters of all time. How do you talk about someone who paved the way for so many people when he ruined the lives of so many women? It's difficult and Bell knows so even going out of his way to interview some of Cosby's victims. It's difficult but it also can't be avoided, you have to acknowledge the work but when doing so Bell wants us not to be ignorant of how the context of the work has changed, and how we have to acknowledge those disenfranchised by the artist. It's definitely a documentary worth watching that might piss some people off, but Bell didn't make this to do such a thing, but rather to create understanding and meld all the wounds created when we discovered who Bill Cosby really was. It's a tragedy.
