£1m fund to tackle racism in film and TV industry prompted by Brunel professor's report
Oct 4, 2021
The Film and TV Charity are to pump a fresh £1m into diversity initiatives after a report co-authored by Brunel University London’s Prof Sarita Malik found that structural inequalities had led to a “denial of opportunities for Black, Asian and minority ethnic writers, directors, producers, and other key positions.”
The money will be invested over the next three years in anti-racism groups as part of wide-ranging plans to tackle racial discrimination in the film and television industry.
The report was one of two commissioned by the charity – Racial Diversity Initiatives in UK Film and TV by and Brunel’s Prof Malik and Dr Clive Nwonka of the London School of Economics, and Think Piece on Anti-Racism in the Film and TV Industry by Sasha Salmon, a senior public policy advisor.
