In this show we discuss the deluge of creations that feel like a direct response to the #MeToo movement – dealing with sexual harassment, rape and consent. We ask the question: are we making progress in the way these subjects are treated on screen? We’ve seen film and TV striving to do better in exploring themes of assault.
