Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood
Ratings5
Average rating3.8
TL; DR: Hollywood is full of white, privileged, rich men who act like assholes, inflicting emotional, physical and sexual abuse. They usually get away with it because they're considered creative geniuses, and you can't have great art without madness. Women, People of Color and LGBTQ+ persons are poorly represented in TV and movies, both in front of the camera and behind it. These conditions can change if we address root causes in individuals and systems, and use unions and grass roots efforts to speak out, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
Burn It Down is well-written and researched, but its length and depth might restrict its audience to other media critics and Hollywood geeks who want all of the gory details.
