Introduction
For my documentary I chose to write about disparities of representation in media. I was drawn to this subject because as a child I often found portrayals of ethnicity and race to be superficial and I wanted to address the possible repercussions that this causes in children.

Reflection
I found this project to be very full filling, even despite the many revisions and re-drafting I had to do, I still enjoyed the work I put into this. As this topic is very personal to me, it was cathartic in the way that I was able to address social issues that are often overlooked in the entertainment industry and have even become a norm.
