Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey's New York Times best-selling investigative journalism piece, She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement, exposed Harvey Weinstein's history of sexual abuse and misconduct against women in the industry, leading to his downfall. It broke one of the most significant stories that helped spark the #MeToo movement. And now, the nonfiction piece will be adapted into a movie, set to open in theaters on November 18. Simplified into She Said, the film will tackle the groundbreaking tale of the two reporters working on a revolutionary exposé to reveal Weinstein's sexual abuses and interrogate the "systems that protect abusers."

Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman) and Zoe Kazan (The Plot Against America) will star as the two determined reporters who try to break the long-enduring silence around the sexual assault subject in Hollywood. Women who speak up in a male-dominated industry are frequently ignored. But the trailer highlighted an early look at how Kantor and Twohey started to unite all the female victims to bring down Weinstein. Kantor (Kazan) is shown embarking on a mission to interrogate and discover the rampant sexual harassment in show business. She partnered up with Twohey (Mulligan) to convince female victims in multiple generations to speak on record to tell the story that could help overthrow Weinstein.

The film will underline the initial wave of sexual harassment and assault charges leveled against Weinstein. In the end, Weinstein was found guilty of third-degree rape and sexual assault, serving a 23-year jail term. This was made possible by the two journalists and numerous other women who spoke up to bring down one of Hollywood's most powerful sexual predators.
