Goal of the study
The screen industry produces content for cinemas, television, and streaming platforms. This study will identify the barriers that people with disabilities who work in this sector face in Canada. This includes those who work on or off screen. The study will also propose guidelines on how to:
- include more people with disabilities in the screen industry, and
- improve the on-screen representation of people with disabilities.
These guidelines will be aimed at the entire screen-based sector in Canada.
