<p>Felicity Beckett talks to director Maria Schrader about her new film She Said, in cinemas now.</p> <p>This powerful investigative drama - inspired by true events - depicts how two New York Times reporters uncovered the widespread sexual abuse of women by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. </p> <p>Adapted from the book by journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, She Said charts their months of painstaking research.</p> <p>They gradually piece together a horrifying trail of systemic misconduct that leads to Weinstein but must overcome a culture of silence and fear, and the non-disclosure agreements that prevent many survivors from speaking out. </p> <p>Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan capture the dedication and commitment of the duo with conviction - they are determined to support each other, and the women whose experiences they have uncovered.</p> <p>The notable cast also includes Patricia Clarkson and Samantha Morton.</p> <p>With a nod to the likes of Spotlight and All the President’s Men, this is a gripping account of a pivotal cultural moment that helped to mobilise the #MeToo movement.</p> <p>If you'd like to send us a voice memo for use in a future episode, please email <a href='mailto:podcast@picturehouses.co.uk'>podcast@picturehouses.co.uk</a>.</p> <p>Subscribe on <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-love-of-cinema/id393128786'>Apple Podcasts</a>.
