Since the month of October 2017, it is a bit of a mess in the world of entertainment in the west and in society more generally. The explosion of the case, Weinstein has released a voice for victims of sexual assault, and this is one of the very foundations of our relation to reality that is about to change.

Needless to say, the editorial staff, we follow very closely the movement #metoo (the term launched by Alyssa Milano on social networks in October last year), its consequences, and that it does not pass a moment without that we were talking about, if only to understand what it says about our modern society in the background.

If the intention is noble and paramount, there is, as in any popular movement, drift radical, there only because we lack probably a bit of emotional distance from the subject. And it is here that cinema and television can be a great help to understand what is happening.

As one thought, #metoo should soon be at the heart of various works and one of them particularly interested in. According to the website the Live Feed, Jennifer Lawrence and presenter of E! Catt Sadler, work actively on a documentary series inspired by the movement. An announcement that surprised the actress in the first place because she wanted to keep the secret to finally talk about the micro Club for Women The Wing, New York :

“I wasn’t supposed to announce it, but here it is, I do.”

If any detail of the content of the series or even its shape has filtered out, the Hollywood Reporter, for its part, briefly investigated on the subject to discover that the project would follow a course of #metoo, but also of the association Time’s Up, which was created following the case of Weinstein, as well as differences in some of wages between men and women in Hollywood. It would seem for the moment that the series has not even broadcast, but that the filmmaker Stephanie Soechtig (Fed Up, Under-the-Gun) has been approached for the film.

There is no doubt that they will find no problem with someone who will hold them. Hoping of course for all this to be treated is laid out, and intelligent.
