Calvin is played by Australian Levi Miller, 15 who called out the culture of “toxic masculinity” which he said was “rampant in society”. Not only does the film star an all-star cast and director (Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Ava DuVernay just to name a few), but the award-winning director isn’t just merely putting out great art on film, but seeks to inspire young girls with her latest work.

“I just want them to know that we’re all handsome and we can all do what we want to do and we can all achieve our dreams the way we are”, said Reid. “I’d done “Selma” and ‘The 13th.’ How did they even think that would work? But if I had to pick one, I’d say that’s the song I consider my jam right now”.

But in just 13 years, DuVernay has successfully and improbably risen to the upper echelons of the entertainment industry, as a filmmaker, producer and agent of change, breaking down barriers and smashing ceilings wherever she sets her sights. “And she’s quite a phenom”.
Questlove’s efforts were noticed by DuVernay herself.

Witherspoon pushes past the notion that some men are struggling with the new normal in place since the Harvey Weinstein scandal triggered a national reckoning. “I was casting for leaders-icons”, DuVernay told Time.
