Netflix’s Anne Mensah Says TV Industry Must “Admit Our Own Biases” & Addresses ‘Baby Reindeer’ Controversy — Edinburgh
Netflix's Anne Mensah has addressed industry biases around diversity and the controversy over 'Baby Reindeer' during a session today in Edinburgh.
In a spotlight session here at the Edinburgh TV Festival ahead of James Graham’s MacTaggart lecture, which is expected to focus on the industry’s issues with class, former BBC and Sky exec Mensah said she was “super-hyper-focused” on addressing diversity in UK television. Later in the session, she was questioned about the furore around Baby Reindeer, the darkly comic Richard Gadd series about his experience with an alleged stalker that has been being plagued by controversy over its authenticity and safeguarding processes. Netflix announced several shows during the session, including a drama from Sid Gentle Films starring Anya Taylor-Joy based on a book by journalist Bella Mackie, and a documentary about the 7/7 bombings in London.
