She Said

SHE SAID, der neue Film von Emmy-Gewinnerin Maria Schrader, erzählt vom riskanten Weg zweier Journalistinnen, die 2017 den weitreichenden Machtmissbrauch gegenüber Frauen im US-amerikanischen Filmgeschäft aufdeckten. Megan Twohey und Jodi Kantor brechen das große Schweigen in Hollywood: Sie entlarven Business-Meetings in Hotelzimmern als sexuelle Übergriffe und stoßen auf ein Netz aus Repression, Erpressung und Angst. Mit ihrer mutigen Recherche geben sie nicht nur den betroffenen Frauen ihre Stimme zurück, sondern stoßen eine weltweite Welle der Solidarität an.

SHE SAID, the new film by Emmy winner Maria Schrader, tells the risky story of two female journalists who in 2017 uncovered the widespread abuse of power against women in the US film business. Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor break the great silence in Hollywood: they expose business meetings in hotel rooms as sexual assaults and encounter a web of repression, blackmail and fear. With their courageous research, they not only give back their voice to the affected women, but also trigger a worldwide wave of solidarity. Two-time Oscar® nominee Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman, An Education) and Zoe Kazan (The Plot Against America, The Big Sick) embody New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning reportage irrevocably changed American society. SHE SAID is a testament to the power of investigative journalism and a testament to reporters' and editors' tenacious search for the truth. It is one of the most important stories of a generation, told by courageous women who chose to fight back despite great personal risk. SHE SAID shows from a woman's perspective how abuses of power that had been covered up for years came to light and their perpetrators were brought to justice, and how, thanks to the courageous commitment of numerous women, the system that made this possible in the first place was exposed and brought down.
