Screening and Discussion: She Said

She Said (2022)/ in English with subtitles
Film screening followed by a discussion with Dr. Ursula Sautter, Deputy Chairwoman of UN Women Germany.

The AmerikaHaus NRW, in cooperation with UN Women Germany, invites you to a film screening and discussion in Bonn on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

In She Said, two journalists embark on a quest for truth that will alter the landscape of Hollywood forever. When Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor of The New York Times begin investigating whispers of abuse, they encounter a daunting wall of fear, silence, and intimidation. Undeterred, they bring forth the testimonies of women who have long been silenced, shining a light on the hidden abuses of power in the entertainment industry. Their pursuit not only challenges a powerful system but ignites a global movement, amplifying the voices of survivors and laying the foundation for lasting change. With riveting performances by two-time Academy Award® winner Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan, She Said from Emmy®-winning director Maria Schrader captures a momentous battle for justice that still resonates today.

After the screening, we will delve into the critical themes highlighted by the film and the ongoing influence of movements like #MeToo in breaking silences worldwide.
