Mexican-American actor Demian Bichir, best known for his performances in A Better Life and The Hateful Eight, believes there is a lot to be done to achieve real diversity in cinema. In the last two years, debate around representation and gender equality has intensified and Bichir feels it was much needed. "We still have to work towards diversity in every sense. I don't think we are there when it comes to equality, protecting and representing minorities.

"The world is a very vast place with so many nationalities and cultures. We have to make more films that represent women, Latins, African-Americans and other communities. It is the time for that. We need more Chinese films, more Indian and Latin-American films," he told PTI in an interview over phone.
