FUCK International Documentary Competition

What is it about this word? Reviled by many as plain obscene, it has made its way into our everyday vernacular, sporting multiple definitions and usages and becoming an undeniable part of our culture.

FUCK explores our relationship with the four-letter word, calling into play our constitutional right to Free Speech and its evolution from taboo to accepted. From Billy Connolly to Pat Boone, Hunter S. Thompson to Ice T, FUCK features dozens of interviews with actors, linguists, comedians, news commentators, politicians, scholars and people on the street, interspersed with clips from television and film appearances and live animation from Bill Plympton.

An immensely entertaining and fascinating exploration of one of the most controversial words in the English language, FUCK is a lively debate, a social satire and a state of the union.
