Published 3 years, 2 months ago
Description
This year's Oscars were one of the most diverse in history, in all kinds of ways.

In this episode, we take a trip through film history to explore how these questions have played out over the last century, and where we might have yet to go — starting when the American film industry was incredibly diverse, and the most successful director in Hollywood was a woman.
