The View From Law Enforcement
Knocking on Hollywood's Closed Door JAMAA FANAKA, an award-winning African American film director, is suing more than 20 major motion picture and television companies for alleged discriminatory hiring practices. Fanaka, who graduated from UCLA summa cum laude and got his master's degree from UCLA film school, said he has applied for 2,820 writing, directing and production jobs in the last two years without receiving a single job offer. Fanaka has written, directed and produced six independent feature films. The class action suit seeks $1.5 billion in damages to compensate for alleged employment discrimination and civil rights violations. Fanaka spoke to MATEA GOLD about the continuing debate on race in Hollywood
