Daniels? exploration of race in a ?new light? is bringing the lead character of STAR, a White girl (Jude Demorest), into a Black environment and observing what that?s like on a national viewing scale. His reasoning goes a bit more in-depth, however.
?We are in a very dangerous state right now in our country and I wanted White people to feel good about being White because right now, there?s a lot of hatred going on,? Daniels explains before further detailing the story he created. ?It started out with this White girl that was just badass and would do anything: kill, rob, have sex, whatever to get to the top. Then, I realized as I was writing, that it was more about a girl group. Their whole world is about what happened to me when I left home and went to Hollywood and the struggles I went through. ?
