A definitive look at the infamous expletive, F*CK explores how this oft-used word, still widely seen as obscene, somehow permeates every aspect of our culture - from Hollywood, to the schoolyard, to the Senate floor in Washington D.C., where it is at the very center of the ongoing debate on Free Speech. F*CK examines the word's impact through various interviews, film and television clips, and original animation by Oscar-nominee Bill Plympton.

Scholars and linguists examine its long and colorful history; comedians, actors, and writers who have charted and popularized the word defend their Constitutional right to use it. Even people who do “it” for a living are interviewed, all in an effort to discover what it is about this one syllable that both unites and polarizes people.

Produced and directed by Steve Anderson. Featuring interviews with (in alphabetical order): Pat Boone, Drew Carey, Billy Connolly, Sam Donaldson, Janeane Garofolo, Ice-T, Ron Jeremy, Bill Maher, Michael Medved, Alanis Morrisette, Kevin Smith and the late Hunter S. Thompson, among others.

"I enjoyed this [film] thoroughly. Watched it from beginning to end. Laughed a great deal. Argued on occasion.." - KGO Radio, Pete Wilson

“Profound and joyously silly!” -LA Weekly

“Four out of five fornicators surveyed agree: Fuck rocks! An enlightening examination into the history and usage of the English language's most forceful and utilitarian vulgarity. Hilarious and often eye-opening!”-Austin Chronicle

“That mother of all curse words is treated to an appropriately colorful exploration.” -Hollywood Reporter

“Essential viewing for linguists and guttermouths alike.” -San Francisco Bay Guardian
