In October 2017, bombshell reporting by New York Times journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor revealed damning allegations of harassment and abuse against one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers, Harvey Weinstein. In the months and years since, the #MeToo movement changed the entertainment industry ― and the world ― as widespread patterns of abuse and corruption were uncovered.
In this fictionalized account of how that story made it to print, two reporters (Carey Mulligan, Zoe Kazan) chase a lead on what had only been whispered about before: that an influential Hollywood film executive was wielding his power against women, pressuring or forcing them into abusive situations before making them sign strict non-disclosure agreements. Much like Spotlight and All the President’s Men, this journalism procedural demonstrates how the support of the two reporter’s editors and the bravery of their sources were crucial in overcoming the challenges of investigative work, particularly when those in power seek to silence them.
