Why Watch This

Hearing Farrow's actual recorded interviews, rather than a dramatized retelling, gives a direct sense of just how close networks of lawyers and private investigators came to burying the Weinstein story before it ever ran.

If Catch and Kill's journalism-under-pressure angle interested you, Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich and Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story cover other cases where institutional power delayed accountability for years.
