She Said Movie

Movie About sexual harassment in Hollywood.

She Said Movie

Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor two journalists from The New York Times who published a report on October 5, 2017, which exposed sexual abuse allegations against influential Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Their investigative work played a pivotal role in igniting the #MeToo movement, which has since led to numerous other high-profile individuals in various industries being held accountable for their actions. The report included detailed accounts from several women who accused Weinstein of sexual harassment, assault, and misconduct over the course of his career, and it sparked a global conversation about sexual harassment and the systemic issues that enable such behaviour to persist in the workplace. The impact of their reporting has been significant, not only in Hollywood but also across various sectors and around the world. The allegations against Weinstein led to his downfall from his powerful position and prompted a widespread examination of power dynamics and the treatment of women in professional settings.

This film, I watched last night on Prime Video and having written a book myself about Harvey, it did change my opinion about how women are treated in the work place. Twohey and Kantor's work didn't just shed light on the darkest corners of Hollywood; it also illuminated the broader societal issues of power imbalance and systemic complicity that had allowed such abuses to persist for so long. Their report was a clarion call to action, a powerful reminder that the voices of the oppressed can indeed bring down the mighty. It was a testament to the enduring strength of investigative journalism and its role in holding the powerful accountable.

Their storytelling was as gripping as it was meticulous, weaving together a narrative that was part detective work, part psychological profile, and part social commentary. They managed to balance the gravity of the subject matter with a clarity and empathy that honoured the survivors' bravery in coming forward.

In the wake of their report, a veritable domino effect took place, with more and more women sharing their stories, and more men in power facing the consequences of their actions. The Weinstein saga became emblematic of a much larger struggle for equality and respect, and Twohey and Kantor's article was the spark that lit the fuse. It was a watershed moment in our collective consciousness, a moment when the dam finally broke and the floodgates of change were thrown open.

Their report was not just about Harvey Weinstein; it was about the countless women who had suffered in silence, and the cultural shift that was long overdue. It was about the courage it takes to speak truth to power, and the power of that truth to change the world. Through their work, these intrepid journalists didn't just break a story; they broke a cycle, and for that, we owe them an immense debt of gratitude.

Lets hope things can change going forward but I do have my doubts until more Women make it to the top in those powerful jobs. Great movie that kept me glued and gripped to my seat throughout.
