Diversity in the NFL

Diversity in the NFL is a short documentary bringing awareness to the racial bias and discrimination during hiring for coaches and management positions in the NFL. This short video project uses lots of research and a combination of animation and film clips.

While creating this film, research was done on Rules that have been made to create more diversity, to collect information on how the NFL has tried to combat racism and encourage diversE hiring. The film talks about rules put in place like the Rooney Rule and the reasons why this rule didn't work. This video i directed towards social media and the people that have the abilliy to change these rules, because its on social media it allows for the video to reach more people.
