‘Catch and Kill: The Podcast Tapes’
We all know the story that propelled the #MeToo movement into public consciousness. Harvey Weinstein, the infamous, larger-then-life producer spent years sexually praying on actresses and employees while simultaneously terrorizing his victims and paralyzing the press from telling his nefarious story. This HBO documentary is actually a spinoff from Ronan Farrow’s podcast and book of the same name, but is the perfect primer for anyone who hasn’t listened to or read either. And for those who have dug into Farrow’s coverage, it’s a visual reminder of the monstrosity which Hollywood enabled for so many long years. Your heart will break seeing these women tell their stories of career killing sexual harassment and abuse–but it is a sad reminder of how hard it is to obtain justice for those who go up against money and power.
