For those who have seen the movie “Disclosure”, they would have seen workplace harassment in a different light. The movie is based from John Grisham’s book of the same title. The story is about a hard-working employee in line for a top position in the company. He later found out that the position which was supposed to be his was given to another, a woman, who happens to be his ex-girlfriend who still has a thing for him. It goes on to evolve with her seducing him, and telling it the other way around when he refused to be seduced. And he shouting sexual harassment but no one believes. It continues on with manipulations and betrayals, and finally the truth surfaces in the end…

What is the point of the story? It basically tells about sexual harassment in the workplace, with a twist. As opposed to the usual cases, the man is the victim here. It is rare for the man to be the victim but it happens. Everyone can be the victim. In this case, power is used to be able to get away with the action done. The ones in the position is the one who gets away with these crimes as seen on books and movies. Stories like this are mostly based on reality. Making it known to people these instances happens and will continue to.

This film is not the only one made about sexual harassment. There are countless others. Although fictional, pictures of reality can be seen. Gives one an idea of what can be done in real life and in actual cases.
