SINGAPORE PREMIERE

Dir. Maria Schrader
Cast: Carey Mulligan, Zoe Kazan, Patricia Clarkson, Andre Braugher, Jennifer Ehle, with Samantha Morton

2022 | USA | Drama | 129 min | English with Chinese subtitles | NC16 (Mature Content)

Synopsis:
Two-time Academy Award® nominee Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman, An Education) and Zoe Kazan (The Plot Against America, The Big Sick) star as New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, who together broke one of the most important stories in a generation—a story that shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood and altered American culture forever.

A testament to the power of investigative journalism, She Said details the journey of reporters and editors engaged in the unrelenting pursuit of the truth and highlights the courage of survivors and witnesses who chose to come forward to stop a serial predator in his tracks. Together, their commitment and fortitude sparked a national conversation, helped propel the #MeToo movement, and fueled a reckoning of the system that had enabled him.

This is a special preview in partnership with UIP for SFS Fam, Friend and Kopi & Movi members before the film’s theatrical release. Ticket collection is on a first-come, first-served basis 30 mins before the screening time at the SFS registration table at the Projector X: Picturehouse lobby.
