Actress Paz de la Huerta has started a crowdfunding campaign to finish filming a movie she began making years before she publicly accused Harvey Weinstein of rape.
The film Valley of Tears is her take on the Hans Christian Andersen story The Red Shoes.
The story is tragic; enchanted shoes force a young girl to dance until she asks an executioner to cut off her feet.
De la Huerta said that she took her version even further. The girl in her movie is raped by a butcher who then cuts off her feet.
Weinstein has denied the actress’s allegations that he raped her twice in 2010. She says the rape scene in her film isn’t about him.
Police and prosecutors are investigating.
