The stars of She Said, an upcoming film that follows real-life incidents of abuse reported by women who worked with producer Harvey Weinstein, say that being a part of the film had significance beyond their work as artistes.

Helmed by Maria Schrader and produced by Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner, She Said is a biographical drama based on the experiences of journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey from the New York Times.

She Said stars Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan as journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, respectively. The film sheds light on the history of abuse and sexual misconduct against women by Weinstein.

“The thing that’s most meaningful to me is watching these two women, Jodi and Megan, work so diligently, with such iron-clad standards, to craft a story that is airtight—a story that no one can question—to support these women whom they had asked to come forward,” said Kazan.

“Getting to see the bravery of the survivors who are coming forward and what that costs them to come forward… that was all tremendously meaningful to me. It extends far past Hollywood,” she added.

Mulligan said she was moved by the collective courage it required to make this story a reality. “It’s inspiring to see women being so heroic and putting themselves on the line. This film is full of examples of those heroic moments, which makes it a story worth telling.”

She Said will hit the theatres on November 18.
