Sorry to bother you is a 2018 Statesian film written and directed by Boots Riley. The film's main theme is capitalist exploitation and alienation, and deals with themes such as racism and organization of the working class to fight for better working conditions.
The film's title has a double meaning, referencing both the phrase's use by telemarketers and its general usage when telling a person something they might not like to hear, such as the film's anti-capitalist message. According to the director and writer, "when you're telling someone something that is different from how they view things, different from how they view the world, it feels like an annoyance or a bother. And that's where that comes from."[1]
