From "A BBC for the Future", March 2024
The challenge to our creative economy
We live in a time when culture and creativity cross national borders frictionlessly. There are huge advantages for consumers as global media and technology firms give people access to the world’s best entertainment. However, it also means there can be more on our screens about city police precincts in the US than our own, and more storytelling about high school America than secondary school Britain.
Films added to the BBC iPlayer for Hallowe-en: The Blair Witch Project, 1999, set in Maryland; Get Out, 2017, set in Alabama; US, 2019, set in California; Candyman, 2021, set in Chicago.
