Women on the Front Lines: Changing the Game
Sundance Institute reports that 46% of directors competing in this year’s festival are women, up 6% from 2019. While there’s still further to go, these statistics show that progress is possible when concerted efforts are made to address systemic biases.
AMC Networks will bring together leading women from the front lines in entertainment to discuss gender parity, inclusion and the way forward.
