Abstract

The movie "她有話要說" (She Said) is a 2022 drama based on real events that led to the exposure of one of the most significant scandals in Hollywood. The film focuses on two New York Times reporters, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, who were instrumental in uncovering the sexual harassment and assault allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein.

As the reporters investigate, they encounter numerous challenges, from persuading women to share their traumatic experiences to overcoming the intimidation tactics used to keep the truth hidden. Their persistence ultimately helped expose a pattern of abuse and contributed to the rise of the #MeToo movement, which empowered women worldwide to speak out against sexual misconduct.

The movie emphasizes the importance of investigative journalism and the courage of survivors in seeking justice.
