Photo Flash: Chloë Grace Moretz Discusses Female Empowerment, Politics & New Film at TimesTalks

Last night, TimesTalks Downtown, presented by Cadillac, hosted a conversation between actress Chloë Grace Moretz and The New York Times writer and editor Joanna Nikas. The two women touched on topics of female empowerment, self-discovery, Moretz's upcoming film, and her interest in politics from a young age, where Moretz shared that she would consider running for office one day.

Moretz's upcoming film, "The Miseducation of Cameron Post," won the Grand Jury Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival. In the film, Moretz plays a 90's teen, who is caught in the backseat of a car with the prom queen and sent to a gay conversion therapy camp called God's Promise.
