Nina (26 years old) and her friends have made a music video which has gone viral. They are getting ready for their first TV appearance. As it turns out, they’ve been led to the broadcast under false pretences, which puts Nina in a dilemma: should she pursue her career in the media landscape in what appears to be an unfair system, or should she, as an underrepresented Black artist, take this unique opportunity to make a statement against it?
