Warner Media Implements New Inclusion Policy
It seems fitting that a new movie that highlights racism and inequity in the American prison system is the first Hollywood production to apply a policy aimed at increasing diversity and inclusion both in front of and behind the camera. WarnerMedia, the parent company of Warner Bros., announced last month a companywide commitment to greater inclusion of women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, those with disabilities and other underrepresented groups in all of its projects going forward.
The first project to formally implement the policy, which also will apply to WarnerMedia-owned HBO and Turner, is Just Mercy, an upcoming film starring Michael B. Jordan, who serves as an executive producer on the project and worked with WarnerMedia to establish the policy. (The film is based on the memoir of the same name by Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, AL. It is set to begin filming in Atlanta.)
