An Italian journalist who excluded Ayo Edebiri on a question about Black Lives Matter and #MeToo speaks out about the viral Venice Film Festival interview.

Ayo Edebiri says #MeToo and Black Lives Matter are not dead after only her white co-stars Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield got asked to respond.

Set for an Oct. 10 release, the film follows a teacher (Julia) who finds herself embroiled in a sexual assault scandal involving her colleague (Andrew) and a star student (Ayo). Inspired by the reckoning sparked by the #MeToo movement, the film has prompted the cast to answer questions about #MeToo, race dynamics, and more.
