Rose McGowan reacts to Harvey Weinstein trial verdict

Actress Rose McGowan, who was one of the first people to publicly accuse the disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein of rape, tells the BBC of her relief at his sentencing.

Ms McGowan also highlighted the cultural significance of the role of the #MeToo movement at provoking a legal and judicial shift.

Weinstein, 67, was convicted in New York City of rape and a criminal sexual act. He faces up to 25 years in prison.
