Rosario Dawson, known to the nerd community for her role as the titular character of the Ahsoka show and the same character in an episode of The Mandalorian has spoken about the state of the film industry, having some takes on recent hot topics in the industry, as well as her own work.
Dawson is currently an executive producer in the upcoming documentary Our Words Collide, which “highlights the poets of Get Lit, a non-profit organization in Los Angeles, which uses the art form to educate and empower young people.” The poets highlighted are Tyris Winter, Cassady Lopez, Jason Alvarez, Virginia Villalta, and Amar Turner, and the documentary follows them as they “navigate their final year at high school exploring many challenges that face young people today – including identity, expression, transitioning into adulthood and overcoming mental health issues – through the unique prism of their poetry.”

She spoke about the mental health struggles the students face. “Mental health [struggles] have gone through the roof. What a brilliant avenue of expression it was to have all of these young people faced with these cameras and, in front of them, being on this journey and adventure of sharing that with the world. Having the opportunity to do so … and how remarkable that is.”
Dawson also spoke out about AI, talking about how it is becoming more special to see live, human performance. She said she recently saw a post about how AI art made the poster believe in a soul because it is different to see something with no human inspiration behind it. She stated that although there’s a place for it, like how AI can use James Earl Jones’ voice to keep Darth Vader’s voice the same since the actor passed, it should never replace people.
