07/26/2021 This is how you make a documentary. You get to see the investigators battle their own in order to get the story out and bring a giant down. See more 07/17/2021 Two episodes in and I'm hooked. This book lends itself well to the screen, allowing the women that Weinstein assaulted tell their stories on their own terms.
