Definition

  • Actors, directors, producers, and other people from diverse heritages have contributed to America's film industry. Hollywood films have always been a sort of a mirror of the United States— although often a controversial and simplified one—and have always dealt with the representation of American society, of which multiculturalism is a key element.
