This introduction is clearly due to the individuals within the film industry who abuse their power being brought to light and plastered all over the media. There are two ways to approach this introduction, the first being that it is great that some countries are acknowledging the issues in the industry and ensuring there are actions taken towards it. It is surprising that this action is not coming from a more dominant country within the industry but instead one with a smaller impact, this movement from Sweden has made the UK consider a similar idea which they may not have considered without this prompt. It is brave of Sweden to introduce this education due to their smaller impact in the industry and their high level of reports of sexual misconduct which brands them negatively. It is also very smart that companies would need to go through the process to gain funding for productions as it ensures everyone is educated to their standards. The second approach to this introduction is that it is ridiculous that this needs to even occur, especially with adults. In this modern day society, sexual misconduct should not be occurring and definitely not at the high rates it appears to be. This introduction would need to be created and funded in every country which contributes to the film industry to make it successful as even though this may make a change in Sweden, it will not make a huge difference in the industry at large.
