Can We Take a Joke? plot
"When outrage and comedy collide."
The world feels smaller these days and creates a unique tension when it comes to the ways of free expression. With social media, it doesn't take much to be offended today. The documentary “Can We Take a Joke?” explores the closing chasm between thought and action, as director Ted Balaker tries to understand why free speech is under attack from an unusual enemy. He uses a large number of comedians, pundits and bewildered interviewees to better understand the changing boundaries of provocative comedy and its current position in a highly sensitive world.
