In a world where silence has been the norm, two investigative journalists embark on a monumental mission to unmask a scandal that has rocked the entertainment industry. With determination and courage, Megan Twohey and Jodie Kantor, reporters for The New York Times, set out to gather testimonies from women who have faced traumatic and abusive experiences in the Hollywood environment.
As the pieces of the puzzle begin to fit together, the two reporters realize that what initially appeared to be a simple case is, in fact, a much broader phenomenon—a cultural system that has perpetuated abuse and complicity in silence. The interviews turn into heart-wrenching accounts that reveal the magnitude of the oppression suffered by numerous women at the hands of a well-known producer.
The stakes are high; they face not only pressure from the industry but also the possibility of personal retaliation. However, their tenacity and journalistic ethics highlight the importance of telling these stories, giving a voice to those who have been silenced. As the echoes of their investigation resonate beyond the newsroom, these two women challenge a society that has tolerated abuse for far too long, shaking the power structures in Hollywood and inspiring others to speak out. In this journey, truth becomes a powerful weapon for justice.
