Harvey Weinstein: Is #MeToo on trial?
The movement versus the movie mogul.
The trial of Harvey Weinstein started in New York this week. Once upon a time he was a Hollywood giant, then in 2017 allegations he sexually harassed a number of women began to surface. Over 80 women came forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct, only a few of the complaints have led to criminal charges. For many people Weinstein facing justice symbolises the whole point of the #MeToo movement. But, what happens to #MeToo if Weinstein 鈥� who denies the charges 鈥� is found not guilty?
In this episode we speak to 大象传媒 journalist Nada Tawfik who鈥檚 covering the trial, and also to Marisa Carroll, the features editor of New York magazine, about whether #MeToo鈥檚 impact equals change.
