LETTER FROM
THE EDITOR
“We are not going to brush it
aside. It did happen and it wasn’t
OK,” says Amy Amidon, a staff psychologist at the San Diego Naval
Medical Center who oversees its
moral injury/moral repair therapy
group. “The point is to help them
feel OK sitting in the darkness
with the evil they experienced.”
Elsewhere in the issue, Maureen Ryan cuts into the True Detecti ve chatter with a harsh indictment of HBO’s diversity. Her
extensive research yields some
troubling facts about who is creating drama at the popular network.
“With one exception over the
course of four decades, HBO has
not aired an original one-hour
drama series created by a woman,”
Maureen writes. “Just under 8
percent of HBO’s original dramas
and miniseries came from women,
and 2.6 percent came from people
of color. Less than 5 percent of
its one-hour dramas — one of the
most high-profile entertainment
products in the world — were created by women. That’s over the
course of nearly 40 years.”
