Production is set to begin this month on a series about sexual harassment in the film industry.
The Workshop production company says its eight-part documentary series will be called Shame: The Story of Sexual Harassment in Hollywood.
The company describes the project as an outgrowth of the escalating Hollywood sex scandals now gripping the nation.
It promises to explore issues starting with the “casting couch mentality” that dates back to the days of silent films. It will stretch from the disgrace of “Fatty” Arbuckle nearly a century ago to modern-day offenders such as Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein, shining a light on how actors, directors and producers have routinely used their power to engage in unsolicited, abusive behavior.
No TV outlet is yet attached to the series.
