Netflix: SURPRISING Decision OFFICIALLY Announced for Us
Netflix used 22 indicators to see if its films included actors from all walks of life, and the company found it had a lot of work to do to get everything back to normal. Netflix has also discovered good things, more precisely compared to the film industry average, there are more women and people of color in its productions, and their presence in management positions is even higher than in the case of other similar companies.
"I think it's important that the content reflects the people who watch it. I think the way people can connect to content, with a great movie or a great series, is that they see something of themselves in it, whether it's very relatable, that they might look like them, or that it reflects an experience of life I have experienced as well. Doing better means establishing even more opportunities for people from underrepresented communities to have their voices heard and intentionally closing capacity and skills gaps with training programs where they are needed.”
