\u201cAfter the Hunt\u201d is now in theaters, taking audiences into a college campus hit by sexual harassment accusations. It\u2019s a story that feels both timely and real, but is it actually true?<\/p>\n
Directed by Luca Guadagnino, the film stars Julia Roberts as Alma, a college professor who has to grapple with both her past and her loyalties when her star student Maggie (Ayo Edebiri) accuses Hank (Andrew Garfield) of sexual harassment. Hank is both a colleague and a good friend of Alma\u2019s, and there\u2019s no clear indication of who\u2019s lying.<\/p>\n
Like we said, it feels very real.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n Though it certainly seems like a news headline that would lend itself to a movie adaptation, \u201cAfter the Hunt\u201d is not actually based on a true story. At least, it\u2019s not based on just one story.<\/p>\n Instead, the film is more of a broader look at college campuses and how they handle incidents like this, inspired by multiple real-life events \u2014 most notably, the #MeToo movement. The film itself takes place two years after the #MeToo movement reached a fever pitch.<\/p>\n In an interview with Marie Clare, screenwriter Nora Garrett explained that \u201cThose cases very much impacted me, I think in a way that was difficult to quantify at the time. Watching them meet the justice system in some way, and the failures of justice that were carried out occasionally, was pretty seismic.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAfter the Hunt\u201d is now in theaters everywhere.<\/p>\n The post Is \u2018After the Hunt\u2019 Based on a True Story?<\/a> appeared first on TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cAfter the Hunt\u201d is now in theaters, taking audiences into a college campus hit by sexual harassment accusations.
