Master Class: Dear White People

Dear White People’s provocative title has graced many Twitter feeds, a feature film, a scripted series that is going into its third season on Netflix, and now, the historic Cascade main stage at the Banff World Media Festival. This is a series with something to say and creative talent that transcends the screen, transforming the show into a brand. Panelists dig deep on what makes Lionsgate’s Dear White People work with Netflix’s global audience and how it stays atop the ever-evolving cultural conversation in America.
