Geena Davis interview on gender in films

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAJvfsOCkG0

Facts from this interview that help my investigation:

  • 3 male to 1 female in film lead roles.
  • Korea has 50% female lead characters in their films.
  • Female characters are narrowly stereotyped.
  • The Media wants us to believe that it has improved, for example when we get shown one film we believe things have changed; bridesmaids.
  • 13 men to 1 women are working on films in the industry.
  • Children who watch films can receive a very unbalanced message about gender.
