Ronan Farrow on exposing Harvey Weinstein

At 29, Ronan Farrow wasn't even born when Harvey Weinstein is alleged to have begun sexually harassing and assaulting women. Yet Farrow was able to stand up to the movie producer's powerful legal and PR machine, publishing explosive exposes about Weinstein in The New Yorker. Correspondent Erin Moriarty talks with the journalist, and with New Yorker editor David Remnick, to find out why the accusations against Weinstein (and so many other public figures of late) are coming out now.

Huge respect for Ronan. Instead of enjoying a privileged life, he's doing something meaningful and helping others. God bless you!

[@Ms2cents]

Claudia Holmes His Mom had a big influence on him. She volunteered a lot of time helping poor people and the disadvantaged. She used to take him with her to Africa and other parts of the world and volunteered their time to charities and raise awareness. At least that’s what he said on one of his TV interviews. She instilled values in him and mix that with his huge intellect, I wasn’t surprised. Did u know he was a Rhodes scholar? He went to college at 11.
