C4 film narrated by Zelda Perkins told the story of Weinstein’s 30-year relationship with the British film industry.

A new documentary about Harvey Weinstein, which aired on Channel 4 last night (Feb 20), investigated how the disgraced mogul worked with the British film industry over a 30-year period.

The film was narrated by Zelda Perkins, who was Weinstein’s UK-based assistant at Miramax until 1998. She left the company after a new assistant told her that Weinstein had tried to rape her at the Venice Film Festival. Perkins was made to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which she broke in an interview with the Financial Times last year.

Directed by Alice Perman and produced by Tigerlily Productions, the film contained a number of revelations and featured interviews with producers Stephen Woolley and David Parfitt as well as former employees of Miramax and The Weinstein Company.
