- Date: 5th October 2016
- Summary: LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM (OCTOBER 4, 2016) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTOR, DAVID OYELOWO, SAYING: "I just think you know we need to see more films that reflect the society we actually live in especially because of how influential film tv media is generally culturally I mean the estimation of who we are, what we believe in as human beings is very much rooted in the films we see because they supposedly a reflection of the lives we live and the societies we live in but I would argue that they are not. The fact that an interracial marriage in a film like this is quite rare is indicative of that fact. In our society those relationships, those marriages are everywhere but you very rarely see them on film."
