• The Colour Purple (film)

• Poetic Justice (film)

• Pulp Fiction (film)

• Suits (TV Show)

As I write this post, I've realised how awful the film industry is, in regards to race. I have watched many, films. A very large amount, and for some reason, I am finding it difficult, to find an average film, where there is a POC that is the main, or one of the main characters? I haven't exposed myself to a lot of TV shows, so I can't really say much in that department, but I can when it comes to films. There have been so many films released. Year after year, so many films are made, and I've watched so many of them. Yet, I'm finding it difficult to think of any with POC? And I'm not talking about historical films that highlight our past oppression etc. No, I'm talking about the awful teen films that you watch as a young teen before you start watching more artistic and well thought out films. Where are the POC? Why aren't they getting roles? Why aren't people writing roles for POC? Or why can't POC fill in those lead roles, which don't necessarily need a particular face, or look to film them in. Anyway, I will attempt to continue this "master list."

• Orange is the New Black (TV Show)

• Belle (Film)
• Ugly Betty (TV Show)

• The Pursuit of Happyness (Film)
• Dreamgirls (Film)
• The Secret Life of Bees (Film)
• Django (Film)

Okay, so I can't think of any other films or shows that have POC as main and significant characters. It's really disappointing to be honest. Anyway, if you know any other films, please mention them down below. I'd love to watch some of them!
