Episode Synopsis

HBO ‘s Special Report, “Consent,” discusses how people, both public and private, are grappling with issues of consent and sexual assault in the year since the first allegations against Harvey Weinstein. HBO Correspondent Isobel Yeung leads us through a nuanced conversation about how the #MeToo Movement has affected everyday people. The issue is extremely personal, and has had huge, rippling effects on both individuals and our society at large - as everyone figures out what accountability looks like, and where we go from here. On this episode of the podcast, VICE Executive Editor Dory Carr-Harris and Broadly-Editor-Chief Lindsay Schrupp speak to Isobel about her process making this piece, how her team decided to frame this story, and why accountability is key.
