Stories are powerful: They move and inspire us, bring us closer to different realities, and can also remind us of what it means to be human. Films are no exception. Watching more diverse films has the power to broaden our views and, at the same time, reminds Hollywood that we want to see different stories onscreen. With a country as diverse as ever before according to the most recent Hollywood Diversity Report, over 40 percent of the U.S. population are minorities and will become the majority within a couple of decades the movie industry is still catching up, with people of color underrepresented both in front and behind the cameras.
