Hundreds of thousands of creative workers in the film and television industry are currently flexing their labor power. The latter is an existential matter involving the dystopian prospect of robot-generated scripts in place of writers and digital replicas in place of actors. I joined actors and writers on a picket line outside Disney’s headquarters on July 26, to hear directly from those striking what they believe they’re fighting for. “We’re here to get fair pay, and respect for what we do,” says TV star Adina Porter, holding a picket sign as she marches alongside other actors and writers. Sonali reflects on “My Journey From Astrophysicist to Radio Host” in her 2014 TEDx talk of the same name.
