Gemma Chan: Challenging Industry Behavior
Gemma Chan discusses the challenges of advocating for change in the film industry, highlighting the risk of speaking out against bad behavior while acknowledging the need for cultural change. She emphasizes the importance of using her platform to spotlight other causes and questions her role in taking up space. Chan also expresses support for the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, stating that something needs to be done. She believes there is progress in East and Southeast Asian storytelling but emphasizes the need for more diverse narratives. The strikes have seen solidarity from well-known actors, and while talks between the AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA have reached a stalemate, the negotiating committee is ready to return to the table.
