About this event

How are Black, Indigenous, People of Colour who run production companies and media non-profits managing in these stressful times? The last two years have been make or break years and companies from racially diverse communities have suffered the most. This enlightening report shines a spotlight on how under-resourced these companies are and we will discuss what our industry needs to strengthen this sector.
