Earlier this month, “Prey,” the latest film in the Predator franchise, premiered on Hulu. The film centers on characters who are part of the Comanche Nation as they fight off threats from both the Predator as well as a group of French settlers. According to the film’s producer, 20th Century Studios, “Prey” had the biggest ever debut of any movie or TV show on Hulu when it premiered earlier this month.

Although the movie was directed and co-written by Dan Trachtenberg, who is white, Trachtenberg brought in co-producer Jhane Myers, who is Blackfeet and Comanche, to make sure that Native people were represented behind the scenes as well as in front of the camera.

Joey Clift, comedian, staff writer and supervising producer for Netflix’s “Spirit Rangers,” and member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, has been an outspoken advocate for Native representation in Hollywood for years. He joined The Takeaway to discuss the significance of "Prey" and how it fits into the current movement around Native representation in the entertainment industry.
