Catch and Kill: The Podcast Tapes provides visual, striking context to the book and podcast series by journalist Ronan Farrow on the work and legacy behind the Weinstein reports
It is, by now, a familiar timeline: within five days of each other in early October 2017, the
New York Times and the New Yorker published two separate, shocking exposés on film producer Harvey Weinstein’s predatory, abusive behavior. The horrific details of his violations, of his sprawling web of non-disclosure agreements, of his routine abuse over decades and the many, many people unable or unwilling to stop it, swelled into an outpouring of women’s experiences with
Sexual Assault. Within days, the #MeToo movement was a full-scale cultural reckoning, though the hashtag was coined years earlier by activist Tarana Burke.
