Diversity matters a lot and it has never been as important as it is these days. If a platform is failing to prove itself diverse then it is failing as a platform too. Netflix is sure about representing a lot of diversity and it can’t possibly compromise on showing stories where black actors are in lead.
7 major films are coming to Netflix this year that feature Black actors.
They are:-
