Bombshell (2019)

Based on the true story, Bombshell is a drama film that retells the story of three women who attempt to take Fox News CEO Roger Ailes to task for sexual harassment and to dismantle the boys club that rules over the network. The film takes liberties with the story for dramatization purposes but captures the uphill battle the women face as they try to force accountability on the colossal news broadcast group.
