In this episode, I continue my conversation with author, film critic, and journalist Helen O’Hara about her new book Women vs. Hollywood: The Fall and Rise of Women in Film.

We talk about the nuts and bolts of the movie making industry. Why some aspects turn people into products. How telling more diverse stories is not only morally good but also economically advantageous.

We talk about how movies reflect and can also shape our world. How audiences vote on what kind of movies get made with their wallets. And how more people in the industry need to have the courage of their convictions.
