Ep. 42: Where Does Hollywood Go After #MeToo?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week on TIFF Long Take, Rob and Geoff sit down with Steph Guthrie and Christine Kleckner, the producers of the new documentary</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">A Better Man</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the film, co-director Attiya Khan confronts her former partner about the violence that he inflicted on her during their relationship. The film, now airing on TVO, has been hailed, not only as a brave and exceptional work of art, but also as a vehicle to better understand how systemic abuse is endemic to our culture — and our industry.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On this week’s episode, Guthrie and Kleckner speak to Khan’s decision to confront her abuser on camera, what can be learned from the therapeutic concept of “restorative justice,” and where the conversation around abuse will now go after #MeToo.</span></p>
