Ask Dr. Ruth is a 2019 documentary film directed by Ryan White, and produced by Jessica Hargrave, Christopher Leggett, Rafael Marmor, and Ryan White under the banner of Delirio Films, Neko Productions, and Tripod Media. The film follows German-American sex therapist Ruth Westheimer as she reflects on her life and career. The film's title derives from the name of Westheimer's syndicated 1987 late-night television series Ask Dr. Ruth.

Production

In 2017, director Ryan White pitched an idea to make a documentary on sex therapist Ruth Westheimer when he was promoting his documentary web series The Keepers. White didn't know that much about Westheimer, other than "90-year-old spoke candidly about sex in a thick German accent".
