Why is Hollywood so white? | Colin Stokes | TEDxBeaconStreet

Joseph Campbell has inspired generations, especially through the quest movies that young people watch. But life has a way of not fitting into a simple mythic structure. What happens when we stop being protagonists all the time?
Colin Stokes divides his time between parenting and building the brand of Citizen Schools, a non-profit that reimagines the school day for middle school students in low-income communities.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
