The Hollywood Whistleblower: "I came away from that experience feeling that I was the criminal"
Manage episode 398197398 series 3530753
Welcome to the third episode of the Parrhesia Tapes – the podcast series tackling the most pressing issues surrounding freedom of speech, whistleblowing, and the courage to break the silence in the face of injustice.
In this riveting episode, we are honoured to feature Zelda Perkins, who bravely spoke out against injustice by being the first woman to break her Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) against Harvey Weinstein. Zelda's groundbreaking decision has paved the way for a broader conversation about the misuse of NDAs to silence individuals, and she continues to champion this cause through her initiative, Can't Buy My Silence.
Joining Zelda is Professor Kate Kenny from the University of Galway, who brings her extensive knowledge on whistleblowing to the table. Professor Kenny delves into the intricacies of the language used in whistleblowing cases and explores the remarkable inner strength that empowers individuals to speak up against wrongdoings.
This episode is not just a conversation; it's a deep dive into the complexities of speaking truth to power and the societal implications of silencing voices. We discuss the psychological impact of NDAs, the legal challenges faced by whistleblowers, and the cultural shifts needed to support those who dare to expose the truth.
Whether you're interested in social justice, legal reform, or the power of individual courage, this episode is a must-watch. We invite you to engage with the content, share your thoughts, and join the movement towards transparency and accountability.
