Sagemiller joins other Harvey Weinstein accusers for the documentary dive into the abhorrent state of sexual assault and manipulation within the Hollywood machine, especially toward young actresses. Even more chilling is the footage of Academy Award winners - Paltrow included - who thanked Weinstein over the years while all of this was knowingly going on behind the scenes.
The Weinstein accusations helped launch the global #MeToo movement where women shared their survival stories of sexual assault and abuse and called for men and the society that created them to be held accountable. The film, by Barry Avrich, will focus on the fact that Weinstein's behavior was well-known within the industry and that he avoided consequences for them - until recently. Watch, below.
