"A lot of people in this industry are shocked by the (Trump) administration and things that have been said, the divisiveness that's been created. Well [is this industry] so different?
"Ninety-three percent of filmmakers are men and only seven percent are women, and three percent of DPs are female. It clearly shows there is discrimination happening. Talk is cheap. But what are you actually doing to move the needle?" Chastain said on the sidelines of 70th Cannes Film Festival.
