It’s been nearly two years since Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey
published their Pulitzer Prize-winning exposé of Harvey Weinstein in
The New York Times, an investigation that helped fuel a global
reckoning with sexual harassment and power. Now, Kantor and Twohey
come to CHF to share their new book, She Said, which details the
behind-the-scenes stories of their groundbreaking reporting. With
CHF’s Marilynn Thoma Artistic Director Alison Cuddy, they’ll
discuss how they obtained confidential records, convinced sources to
go on the record, and went up against Weinstein’s lawyers and
private investigators. They’ll also discuss how their reporting has
tackled profound questions at the heart of the #MeToo movement: Has
the change gone too far? Or not far enough? This program is presented
in partnership with The New York Times. Charter Humanists must reserve
