How does the documentary "Number One on the Call Sheet" use personal anecdotes to illustrate broader systemic issues within Hollywood, such as sexism and racism?

The documentary contrasts the experiences of Black men and women in Hollywood, showing how systemic sexism limited opportunities for women. While men's success stories often involved individual agency, women's narratives centered on navigating limited roles and supporting male leads. The film uses specific examples, such as Gabrielle Union's early roles as a best friend to white women and Viola Davis's limited leading roles, to illustrate this disparity.
