The explosion of the #MeToo movement is both empowering and problematic, says its creator.

Millions of people have shared personal stories of sexual assault and harassment using the hashtag #MeToo.

Tarana Burke, the founder of the movement, joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss the viral explosion of her message and what comes next.
