Summary:
"Abuse and exploitation of workers is baked into the very foundations of the entertainment industry. To break the cycle and make
change
that sticks, it's important to stop looking at headline-making stories as individual events. Instead, one must look closely at the bigger picture, to see how abusers are created, fed, rewarded, allowed to persist, and, with the right tools, how they can be excised. In 'Burn It Down,' veteran reporter Maureen Ryan draws on decades of experience to illuminate the forces sustaining the most corrosive elements of
Hollywood
's culture. Fresh reporting sheds light on problematic situations at companies like Lucasfilm and other companies and the shows Saturday Night Live, Lost, and Sleepy Hollow among others. Evan Rachel Wood, harold Perrineau, Damon LIndelof, Orlando Jones, and other creatives discuss the waves of industry reckonings, and what they did -- and did not --
change
. Ryan dismantles the destructive myths undegirding the industry, including the mistaken notion that it's a meritocracy and toxic ideas about what creative processes require. All too often, th epowers that be allow awful workplaces to endure and bad leaders to thrive while avoiding systematic accountability. Ryan talks to a host of sources at all levels of the industry who say, No more. Weaving together insights from insiders, historical context, and pop-culture analysis, 'Burn It Down' paints a groundbreaking portrait of what's wrong with the entertainment world and how to fix it."--Jacket.
