Ava DuVernay hopes Frances McDormand's Oscars 'inclusion rider' speech helps 'change' Hollywood

Ahead of her highly-anticipated film adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle beloved children's book, "A Wrinkle in Time," director Ava DuVernay is weighing in on Frances McDormand's passionate Oscars speech and the importance of inclusion riders in contracts.  "An inclusion rider is an idea that's going around the industry and in Hollywood and New York and Atlanta where there's a lot of productions for film and television," DuVernay, who has been a consistent champion for inclusion, told ABC News.

She went on, "[It] says that as an actor, who usually has a lot of power on these productions -- that they want a part of their contract to say that the studio and the director and the producers will include all different kinds of people in the crew positions."
