Near the end of Maria Schrader's "She Said" (2022), as journalists Jodi Kantor (Zoe Kazan) and Megan Twohey (Carey Mulligan) are close to publishing their New York Times article of 5 October 2017 on Harvey Weinstein's long history of harassment and assault, a video screen in the background at the Times building shows a CNN report about a mass shooting at a country music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. That moment in the film shook me up as it took me back to waking up on Monday, 2 October 2017, to the news that sixty people had died in that shooting while singer Jason Aldean was performing the festival's final set.
