Plot
In this documentary, produced by Simon Chinn (Oscar winner in 2009 and 2013 for 'Man on Wire' and 'Searching for Sugar Man'), and directed by Ursula Macfarlane (BAFTA nominee for 'One Deadly Weekend in America' and 'Breaking Up with the Joneses'), tells the story of cinema producer Harvey Weinstein and his abuses and blackmails, beside his rise and fall and the causes of all this happening, in an incisive and developed way.
In addition, the documentary features interviews with alleged victims of Weinstein such as Erika Rosenbaum, Nannette Klatt, Caitlin Dulany, Rosanna Arquette and Paz de la Huerta, among others, and several colleagues of his profession such as Ken Auletta, Mickey Osterreicher, Jack Lechner and Mark Gill, among others, who have a lot to say about who, until a few years ago, was one of the most powerful men in Hollywood in the cinema industry. All of this comes in the hand of Ronan Farrow, the journalist who made an investigation report about the topic for the New Yorker (and won a Pulitzer prize in 2018 for it) and put light on one of the worst sewers in the cinema industry.
As the criminal case against him continues, the film makes us question whether the powerful people are really above justice and if a significant change is really possible or not.

Trivia
Simon Chinn returns to produce
The two time Oscar winner returns to produce a documentary since 'Whitney' last year.
The perfect occasion
Ursula Macfarlane felt it was the perfect movie for her when producer Simon Chinn asked her to make the documentary with him. The reasons were several but it was important to give women a voice on the screen.
A long list
Approaching the life of Harvey Weinstein was a very daunting task as they came to gather more than 600 people on an extensive list of names. They contacted almost 400 people of which 148 were able to talk to them. Finally, 29 people were recorded in 9 months.
