Gr 9 Up-Serial collaborator Shamir fortuitously adapts journalists Kantor and Twohey's essential 2019 She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement, providing young journalists not only an illuminating window into the industry, but also empowering young women, especially, to speak out and challenge injustices and abuses. After voicing She Said, Rebecca Lowman returns as narrator here, sounding very much like the big sister every young person needs in demanding situations. She's encouraging and understanding, with just enough alarm when she needs to signal a warning, but never resorting to over-emoting. Lowman's assured delivery highlights Kantor and Twohey's goal "to document the facts," "without bias or agenda," while elevating the courage of the many women who bravely broke their silence. VERDICT Lowman adroitly enhances an already vital chronicle of a pivotal moment in journalism history.
