Do you know...?
- Underrepresentation of Latinas: While women made up 18% of directors in the top 250 films in 2022, the percentage of Latinas specifically is much lower. According to the 2022 Hollywood Diversity Report, only 1% of directors in the top-grossing films were Latina.
- Latinas in Television: In the 2022-2023 season, Latinas directed only 3% of television episodes across broadcast, cable, and streaming, according to the Directors Guild of America (DGA).
- Intersectionality: As both women and part of an underrepresented ethnic group, Mexican women face a "double bind" where they must overcome both gender and racial/ethnic barriers in the industry.
