Indeed, this year's Oscars have had a lot of controversy due to its lack of inclusiveness with its nominees, in particular towards films centered by or created by people of color, as well as women in non-acting roles.
Join Ricky with a special guest, Film and TV Scholar, Alicia Carroll in a very informative and engaging discussion about those problems of exclusion, what needs to be and is being done by the industry to resolve them, and what young artists can do to help.
