It was the work of two female journalists that really took down Harvey Weinstein.

Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor’s New York Times exposé on the Hollywood film producer reignited the #MeToo movement, bringing to light the devastating wave of sexual harassment and abuse allegations against him.

After some time, Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison on charges of sexual assault and third-degree rape.

Now, Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman, An Education) and Zoe Kazan (The Big Sick) are bringing this monster hunt to the big screen, playing the two in a film adaptation of the book that Twohey and Kantor wrote.

The two powerhouse journalists “shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood and altered American culture forever” according to the official synopsis for She Said.

Variety has more:

The trailer finds Kazan’s Kantor on a mission to evaluate sexual harassment across business sectors and discovering that show business is rampant with misconduct and criminal assault.

Pairing with Twohey, the women must use all of their reporting muscle and knowhow to convince traumatized women across multiple generations to do the impossible — speak on the record and expose the systems that protect abusers.

Universal Pictures’ She Said will be out in theatres from November 18.
