Hollywood actress Jane Fonda believes that the film industry plays an important cultural role in society and claims that it is currently missing "the narrative of half of the world's population".
"It's important because women view things differently, whether it's a relationship or the entire global situation. If the narratives only come from men, we're missing the narrative of half of the world's population," Vulture magazine quoted Fonda as saying, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The "Barbarella" actor laid emphasis on "getting the narrative of the other half" to strike a balance.
"Movies are what create our consciousness, so we're being harmed - not just women, but men, too. If you don't get the narrative of the other half, you're going to be diminished because of it," the 77-year-old said.
