Cara wants to address classism and racism

-

Supermodel-actress Cara Delevingne feels issues like “immigratio­n, classism and racism” need to be addressed more, and says that is the reason behind doing TV series Carnival Row.

Directed by Jon Amiel, Carnival Row is described as a fantasy-noir set in a neo-Victorian city with mythical creatures fleeing their war-torn homelands gathering in the city. It shows how tensions simmer between citizens and the growing immigrant population.

“The part I play has so much fire... Other characters and the story relate to what is happening in the world right now,” Delevingne said at the Prime Video Presents 2018 event.

“[The show addresses] social and political themes. Immigratio­n, classism and racism, important themes that need to be addressed more and more. It’s fantasy that we have never seen before,” she added. —
