The film is part of Refinery 29's Shatterbox Anthology, created to increase female representation in entertainment, both behind and in front of the camera.

The film is held with high regard, even 75…

Whitewashing and misrepresentation needs to stop because, Hollywood and many other forms of media don’t bother with casting POC in movies. Hollywood gets praised for this, and the white…
