Is Hollywood The Help or the hurt for Minorities: Race, Class and Gender in Film and Television

Thursday, March 1st, 2012
3:45 pm - 5:00 pm
Parlor B (Benson Memorial Center)

What are the available roles for people of color and other minorities in television or film? Is having some roles "good enough" or does Hollywood have a duty to provide non-stereotypical roles for minorities? Should minority actors and actresses boycott those stereotypical roles or are they a means to an end? And who in the industry is responsible for making these decisions or does the power lie with the people? Come and join us for Winter Quarter Difficult Dialogue.
