Given how the reveal of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misconduct has resulted in a succession of similar stories coming out, it should come as no surprise to learn that there is enormous interest in his case. As a result, there are parties that are preparing to meet that interest, with an excellent example being the BBC. For those who are curious, the BBC broadcaster has ordered a documentary about Weinstein, which is expected to come out at some point in 2018.
What Will the Harvey Weinstein Documentary Focus Upon?
The upcoming documentary will be focusing on both the rise and the fall of Weinstein. By doing so, it hopes to not just provide the definitive account of what has happened but also provide interested individuals with fresh insight into what has been happening. In particular, it is interesting to note that the upcoming documentary will be featuring interviews with the actresses who spoke out about Weinstein as well as numerous agents, directors, producers, and other figures of relevance, which should enable the project to shine a brighter light on its subject matter than otherwise possible.
With that said, it should be mentioned that the upcoming documentary will be spending some time examining wider issues as well. Simply put, it won’t be examining Weinstein’s case in isolation. Instead, it will be using Weinstein’s case to examine the situation in Hollywood as a whole, paying particular attention to how it came be as well as the current situation in the entertainment industries. As a result, for those who want a more than superficial treatment of the issue, the upcoming Weinstein documentary seems like it could prove to be a productive use of their valuable time.
Speaking of which, it is useful to note some of the people involved in the making of the upcoming documentary as well. For example, the director is Ursula MacFarlane, who some people will recognize because of her involvement with Charlie Hebdo: Three Days that Shook Paris. Furthermore, two of its executive producers will be Simon Chinn and Jonathan Chinn, who are cousins who have won an Oscar and an Emmy Award for their work on other projects. They are involved because they are the co-founders of Lightbox, which is the production company that is making the upcoming documentary at the request of the BBC. Summed up, there is plenty of talent lined up behind the upcoming documentary, which should come as further reassurance to those who are concerned about whether it will turn out well or not.
Further Considerations
As stated, the upcoming documentary is expected to be released in Britain at some point in 2018. However, that is as exact as the information gets, meaning that interested individuals will have to continue paying close attention to the news so as to find out its exact release date when that particular piece of information is at last revealed. With that said, even once it has been released, it seems possible that there could be a short wait for it to make its way to other countries besides the United Kingdom. Still, the people and parties who are involved in the project suggests that it could well be worth the wait.
