Nisha Ganatra, the director of the new film 'Late Night,' knows exactly what it's like to be the only person of color in a writers room.
Given her experience, she was instantly intrigued when the news came out that actress Mindy Kaling was working on a script about a female host of a late night talk show.
The director identified with Kaling's character when she was mocked for being a “diversity hire” and falsely told that she is more likely to be hired to a prominent position. It is not until the newcomer Molly — a former chemical plant worker from suburban Pennsylvania — begins to push both Katherine and the rest of the staff to shake things up that things begin to change for the better.
