Amanda Palmer and Jasmine Power Mark First Anniversary of Weinstein Exposé with Powerful Video
Amanda Palmer and British singer-songwriter Jasmine Power have released a powerful new music video to mark the first anniversary of Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey’s New York Times exposé that brought Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein to face justice for alleged sex crimes stretching back decades.
The visuals for their collaborative track “Mr. Weinstein Will See You Now,” which was first shared back in May, feature the work of more than 60 women, including director/choreographer Noémie Lafrance. The gripping, graphic, and deeply thought-provoking short film (NSFW) begins with a group of women, clad in matching white Oxford shirts, singing along to the anthemic six-minute song in an elegant suite. From there, the scene dissolves into a riveting display of dance and motion depicting the anguish endured by survivors of sexual assault.
