A synopsis reads, “Two-time Academy Award nominee Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan star as New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, who together broke one of the most important stories in a generation— a story that helped propel the #MeToo movement, shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood and altered American culture forever.
“From the Academy Award winning producers of ’12 Years a Slave’, ‘Moonlight’, ‘Minari’, ‘Selma’ and ‘The Big Short’ and the Oscar-nominated producer of ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ and ‘American Hustle’, the film is based on the New York Times bestseller, She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement.”
