FILE- In Jan. 19, 2013 file photo, Anita Hill, subject of the documentary film &quot;ANITA,&quot; poses at the premiere of the film at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, in Park City, Utah. From the Clarence Thomas hearings to the Harvey Weinstein scandal: Some 26 years after her testimony brought sexual harassment into the national spotlight, Hill says she sees the needle moving yet again with the saga that is transfixing Hollywood. Yet Hill also cautions that real-world progress will be incremental at best, and many women in the workplace still fear retaliation if they come forward. Others cite confidential settlements as a hindrance to progress. (Photo by Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP, File)
