Laying out data, Netflix touts its record on inclusivity
Associated PressNEW YORK — Netflix on Friday released a study it commissioned from top academic researchers that shows the streaming giant is outpacing much of the film industry in the inclusivity of its original films and television series. The correlation isn’t a perfect one since Netflix releases both large and small budget films whereas the majority of top movies at the box office come from higher-priced productions. He said 2020 films like “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “Da 5 Bloods” and “Old Guard” show Netflix is still progressing. She cited shows like the Shonda Rhimes-produced “Bridgerton” and the Spanish language “La Casa de Papel” as examples of how Netflix is remaking what’s traditionally been a success. “I do feel like for us, it’s having way more stories than the one failure.” Netflix also said it will create a fund of $100 million to bring more underrepresented groups into film and television.
