Charlize Theron (CharlizeAfrica) talks venturing into territory usually left to investigative journalists for Bombshell: “We have all taken an oath to protect our sources, but we tried to communicate as much as we could with everybody'

In an attempt to re-create the toxic culture at the network under Roger Ailes, creators spoke to multiple women still bound by the gag orders now under renewed scrutiny:"Come after me. I don’t have anything."

The legal gray area of NDAs related to sexual harassment has only gotten murkier in recent days. On Oct. 25, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow broke the news that NBCUniversal would release employees who contacted the company from their confidentiality agreements — a measure that some critics, including new Time’s Up CEO Tina Tchen, called insufficient because it places the burden on employees to identify themselves first to NBC.

Carlson, who has testified before Congress in support of a bill that would ban NDAs in sexual harassment settlements, cites her own when asked about the movie. “It’s really frustrating that because of my NDA, I can’t participate in any of these projects,” she says. “It’s why I’m working so hard on the Hill to change that.”

For some of the Fox News women under NDAs, talking to filmmakers has been freeing. Rudi Bakhtiar had her contract as a correspondent at Fox terminated in 2007 after she complained about sexual harassment, an incident she says she has mostly buried. In a scene in, a male supervisor propositions Bakhtiar, played by actress Nazanin Boniadi, at a meeting. Before shooting, Boniadi reached out to Bakhtiar, who asked to meet with Roach and Randolph.
