Episode 9 - The present and future of independent TV producers

Despite the challenges of a changing world, independent TV producers are thriving.

Susana Gato, executive president of the Portuguese Association of Independent Television Producers (APIT), presents herself as an enthusiast, while pointing out some of the biggest issues faced by the sector: geo-blocking, intellectual property, and artificial intelligence.

In terms of the role of women in the industry, Susana has no doubt: there is still a long way to go for gender equality, on and off screen.
