The entertainment industry in Hollywood seeks to break down the barriers present in film and television, as well as in the creative work of acting, writing, directing, producing and content, but mainly in the way stories are told, because beyond what we see on the screen there is a world of people seeking to be represented and valued.
On many occasions, the Latino, Asian or African-descendant community is not taken into account because of the idea that it is not a good market to invest in projects that end in economic losses, said Michael Tran, co-author of the Report on Diversity in Hollywood during a conference organized by Ethnic Media Services.
Studies say that diversity should be considered because it generates sales and profits, however, for Tran, the entertainment industry is far from diversity, not for economic reasons but for lack of opportunities.
