Vanity Fair contributing editor and author Maureen Ryan talks to Salon's Melanie McFarland about her bombshell new book "Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and Call for Change in Hollywood." Ryan discusses instances of abuse and exploitation of entertainment workers in Hollywood, which she has uncovered through her reporting. She explains how these revelations play a role for fans of popular TV shows and movies and the future of how productions are made. Ryan shares this call to action: "The thing that I want people to understand is this: toxicity, abuse, exploitation of all kinds is not an inevitability and a creative endeavor."
