Why Hollywood actors are on strike and what it means for entertainment industry

Anousha Sakoui:

Well, I think, when you look at it, you have to look at the finer details. It's not that easy, I think, to sort of compare one version of a proposal and what the actors are saying.

So you sort of get two versions of the same story. I think, a lot of the time, it's looking into the details, the finer details of the offers.

And it's — what's there to say, except that there's going to be a strike this weekend? People are very concerned across the industry about what it means for livelihoods, not just of actors and writers, who are on strike, but all the other workers who — the craftspeople, the hairdressers, makeup artists, costumers, thousands of people that work on film and TV that will have their work stopped and their pay stopped, and also the businesses that are dependent on these — film and TV across many big filming hubs across the U.S.

It's not just Southern California and Los Angeles, but New York, New Mexico, and Georgia, for example, have huge film industries.
