White text on a red background: "Inequality in 1,900 Popular Films. Examining Portrayals of Gender, Race/Ethnicity, LGBTQ+ & Characters with Disabilities. USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative by Dr. Stacy L. Smith & The Annenberg Inclusion Initiative." Two graphs with statistics are shown at the bottom.

White text on a red background: "In 2025, a mere 2.8% of all speaking characters were shown with a disability. Although around a quarter of the U.S. population lives with a disability, since 2015, this study has shown no movement on screen to represent this community.

White text on a red background: "Most of the characters with disabilities in 2025 were White and male, and none were part of the LGBTQ+ community, suggesting that films portray a narrow view of how disability is experienced.”

White text on a red background: "While many Americans may experience a disability at some point in their lives, they will not see this reality in popular movies."

The reception of Tod Browning’s film “Freaks” may have improved since its release in 1932, but at the time this film was widely thought of as a box office failure. It wasn’t until the 1960s that it had a resurgence to the cult classic it is today. Have you watched it? #freaks #todbrowning
