WEBVTT - Season Two Trailer: The Birth of #MeToo

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>I would like to thank Harvey Weinstein, Hollywood mogul. Harvey

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Weinstein just got hit with new sexual harassment allegations. And

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>to those who would dare try and silence us, we

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>offer you two words. Times up. It happened to me too,

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.319
<v Speaker 1>Me too. That happened to me too. This is my story.

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>On The Thread, we unraveled the stories behind some of

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 1>the most important lives and events in history to discover,

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.879
<v Speaker 1>essentially how one thing leads to another. This season, we

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>moved through nearly a century of history leading up to

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>the Me Too movement. We begin with Gloria Steinham, a

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>leading feminist and activist and an early silence breaker. This

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>is no simple reform, It really is a revolution. Steinham

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>helped transform the modern women's movement, but the events that

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>lead to Steinhem's rise and that revolution where decades in

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the making. I'm Sean Braswell, and in season two of

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>The Thread, we will bear witness to a remarkable chapter

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>in American history, one that runs from the casting couches

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>of early Hollywood to the present day. It is a

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>tale of power, glamor, and coercion. It is also a

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:25.119
<v Speaker 1>tale of liberation. Steinhem put it best The truth will

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>set you free, but first it will piss you off.
