In 2017, The New York Times published a harrowing front-page account of the prolific sexual abuses committed by Hollywood mega-mogul Harvey Weinstein. Journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor spent months tracking down rumours and investigating the financial payouts that allowed him to prey on actresses and assistants for decades. More than 85 people would eventually come forward with accusations against Weinstein, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, and Ashley Judd. Women started saying #MeToo and #MeToo and #MeToo.
Later, Twohey and Kantor’s Pulitzer-winning journalism became a book about their reporting journey called She Said. Now, that book is a disappointingly under-paced movie, starring Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan as the tireless reporters/tired moms who brought down the most powerful man in movies. She Said is being released in cinemas as Weinstein serves a 23-year sentence for rape and sexual assault.
