SHE SAID

She Said details the journey of New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, who together broke one of the most important stories in a generation — a story that shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood and impelled a shift in American culture that continues to this day. The film is the story of reporters and editors who engaged in the unrelenting pursuit of the truth and highlights the courage of survivors and witnesses who chose to come forward to stop an accused serial predator from committing further harm. Together, their commitment and fortitude sparked a global conversation, helped propel the #MeToo movement, and fueled a reckoning of the system that had enabled him.

“I was blown away by the script – Its complexity, intelligence, its bold choices in terms of truthfully sticking to the detailed process of investigative journalism, and by the sheer number of characters who appear and contribute to the story. Rebecca Corbett’s script made clear that this film wasn’t primarily about Weinstein but about the journalists and all the women who stood up to tell their stories. This was about something larger than Hollywood.”
