ARAH IASIELLO,

SUBEDITOR

“It might prompt uncomfortable

discussions, but these conversations

are necessary to break through social

stigmas surrounding taboo topics.

‘Entertainment’ can serve a wider

purpose than to simply entertain – it

can also educate. Just like some of our

favourite stars use their public platforms

to promote causes, screenwriters and

directors use the tools at their disposal

to highlight these not-often-talked-about

issues. But they do need to tread

carefully when trying to bring attention

to such a serious issue – making sure

their work breaks down barriers and

encourages conversation, without

glamourising for the sake of

entertainment. Otherwise,

there could be far-reaching

consequences.”
