In the bustling world of investigative journalism at The New York Times, two determined reporters, Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, embark on a challenging quest to uncover long-hidden truths about powerful film producer Harvey Weinstein. Armed with notebooks and recorders, they delve deep into a landscape shrouded in intimidation and silence. Their initial inquiries about allegations of sexual misconduct meet with reluctance and fear from victims, highlighting the oppressive power dynamics at play. Despite the daunting nature of their task, the reporters remain steadfast, guided by their commitment to justice and ethical reporting.

As they doggedly pursue leads across different states and countries, they gather harrowing testimonies from victims, many of whom have been silenced by non-disclosure agreements. The reporters work meticulously to verify accounts, secure credible sources, and construct a detailed expose that might dismantle Weinstein’s influence and advocate for widespread change within the industry. Alongside their personal lives and the pressures of timelines, they navigate legal hurdles, encountering resistance not only from Weinstein’s team but also from those apprehensive about holding such a powerful figure accountable. Their relentless investigation begins to unveil a systemic issue indicative of broader patterns within various industries, laying the groundwork for what might become a pivotal moment for the #MeToo movement.
