Here, you'll meet several women shaping the formats industry today, and hear their perspectives on where it's heading.

Perhaps like never before, audiences and content creators alike have a shared desire to engage with entertainment with a distinct point of view on issues that matter. We’ve seen series and specials have real impact on the stories they’re exploring and more and more, we are seeing how unscripted and non-fiction content can foster positive change. But in a polarized political and social climate such as today’s, some subjects remain risky to explore and require the utmost sensitivity across the board. As some of these issues -- for example, the abortion debate -- return to the spotlight, how can, and why should, stakeholders -- from programmers to producers to advertisers -- take a chance on programming that takes a stand?

It’s fair to say that the entertainment industry, like many other business sectors, has undergone radical transformation in the last two years, spurred by the disruption of a global pandemic. The content creation business of 2022 is significantly different from that of 2020, and the changes are still coming. What, from the previous way of working, is permanently in the rear view mirror, and what is ahead on the horizon? And while the changes are bringing a wealth of opportunity to widen the talent pool, reshape the work environment and break down barriers, what might be lost as the industry accelerates into this new era? Hear from those who are navigating the changes and the challenges about the opportunities and evolutions they see for the unscripted content production business now and in the very near future.
