The documentary miniseries “We Need To Talk About Cosby” was directed and produced by W. Kamau Bell. It delves into Bill Cosby's life and the many sexual assault cases that led to his downfall. With a career spanning five decades and having received many of the most prestigious awards from the entertainment industry, Bill Cosby was widely considered one of the most influential black creators in media until a flurry of victims began to come forward. As Cosby sees his empire and reputation crumble around him, he withdraws from public life in the face of court cases and negative public opinion. The 4-part documentary includes interviews with both victims and fellow comedians and journalists. It delves into the fascinating story of Cosby and explores how we, as an audience, can reconcile his successful career with the actions of the person behind it.
