Call Me Lucky

This film is a triumphant and wickedly funny portrait of Barry Crimmins, a stand-up comedian whose beer-swilling, politically outspoken persona hid an undercurrent of rage stemming from his childhood sexual abuse. As he fostered the talents of the next generation of comedians in 70s and 80s Boston, Crimmins' activism took on a new form: fighting against child pornography on the internet. The documentary celebrates his courage and dedication to truth-telling, featuring pivotal moments like his testimony at a 1995 congressional hearing where he confronted an AOL executive about the company's failure to regulate pedophile activity in its chat rooms.
